Shoot

I sat down to write a blog about things that bug me but I kept feeling like I had already written a blog on the same topic so I went back in time and revisited some great stories from past blogs. I didn't find what I was looking for but I did just spend over an hour reading little stories and seeing pictures I have already forgotten about. That is why I love having a blog, to help me remember all the little details that get lost in the 1/4 part of my brain I have left. (I figure each child takes up a quarter of my brain's capacity. Maybe it's best we stop having kids after all.)

So really this is a non-post because it's really about nothing. So sorry. And if anyone can remember whether or not I've written about things that bug me, like lights left on when no one is in the room, opened drawers and cabinet doors etc..., please let me know.

Since I'm on here I might as well post some pictures, right?

Ben and Thompson sharing a Popcorn Movie Night together. You might see a cute picture. I see a wedding slideshow picture.



Addison found a board just her size.



Doesn't Ben look like a celebrity here? He could be a child actor, he comes by it honestly you know. :-)



And a little video never hurt anyone either, right?

I can't get over the fact that your kiddos just sang benny and the jets. I can't wait till they are old enough to watch 27 dresses just so they can appreciate that one scene :)

A Quick Update

Image
We have been in Idaho just a few days shy of 7 months. That's over HALF a YEAR, people. MUCH has changed. Our daily routine? Changed. Weekend plans? Changed. People we call when we're in a jam? Changed. How we're being fed spiritually? Changed. (But not TOTALLY, because we are still being fed hearty meals from the truth of God's Word, only our "server" has changed, essentially). How we function as a family? Changed. Everything has changed.  Half a year in a new land, with new people, and a new EVERYTHING will change you. And we are okay with that. Matter of fact, we're better than okay! We scorched our way through a brutal, smoke filled August, and we are GOOD! We tip-toed into the school year in new schools, with new teachers, and new everything , and we are good! A couple kids even won awards! (She's one ...  the oldest was another, but conveniently ducked the camera >insert eye roll<). We mercifully made new frien...

My New Language

My teen challenged me to a game of ping pong. Easy enough, one might think, but this particular teen has been playing for YEARS against GOOD players (my mother-in-law is a champ!). Not to mention his muscles are twice the size of mine and he's a least - dare I admit this - a solid three inches taller than I, probably four. He was so sweet when he asked, and I couldn't remember the last time he had, so of course I said yes. From the beginning he knew he could beat me. He is stronger, faster,  *sigh*  taller , and more skilled. So he, sweet thang that he is, played with his weaker hand, which honestly isn't saying much because the boy is straight up ambidextrous . He was still beating me. So he got on his knees. I kid you not. He put one hand behind his back and he. played. on. his. knees . Aaaaaaaaaand he still beat me. It probably didn't help that I was laugh/crying the entire time. He thinks it was because I was having the time of my life, and I WAS! But r...

The Post About School

Image
Our family has partially or full time homeschooled for eight years. And, getting really technical, if you think of the years per kid, that's 22 years of homeschooling ! I think it's safe to say we are homeschool fans. Our decision to homeschool, initially, came from three factors: 1. Mark is a big proponent of using time wisely, and neither of us were thrilled with the use of time in our local schools. 2. We don't vaccinate, which wasn't a big deal in the beginning because BACK THEN we could just sign a waiver and it was no biggie. Then CA went all - well, Californiaish- and basically it became impossible for us to legally enroll our kids in a public school. 3. What brought homeschooling to our attention was when a family brought us a meal after Mia was born, and in walked this 8 year old boy who was kind, polite, helpful, genuine, respectful, patient, and more. I asked the mom, "Where does this kid go to school? He is incredible! What are you doing??...
