Maybe it needed sprinkles

Tonight I added just a tiny bit of applesauce to Troy's oatmeal, and, well, here's the result:



He's also been pulling up on things lately. What!!!???? I know, I'm just as shocked as you are. But the truth is he's not getting any younger and now I find him all over the place, the trampoline, Addison's bed, the bookshelf. Yikes! The bookshelf! That reminds me, I need to figure out how to secure that thing because I have a feeling Troy will be the child that gets into and onto everything. We don't need him under everything too. I'm constantly picking up tiny chokeables from the ground seeing as how I've retrieved some really unsafe things from his mouth already. The other day it looked like he had something in his mouth but I couldn't see or find anything. About 20 minutes later I tried to give him his pacifier and he wouldn't/couldn't keep it in his mouth. I figured out he had a leaf stuck to the roof of his mouth. Lovely. He's also taken swipes of food and successfully had the top of a banana and a fist full of cupcake - frosting and all. The boy loves to grab and shove!

I was laughing out loud at work over that video. I had no sound, but it was all the better for it...

he's so funny. His facial expressions, especially the second bite, are awesome! And then after the second bite, the way his right eye kinda squints and quirks... I swear, you have your very own "Calvin"!

I don't think he's a fan... nope... not at all. That was soooo funny ... I laughed out loud and felt sorry for him all at the same time. Loved the "sneaky" photos of him, too. Man, oh, man he's a fast one I can attest to that part, for sure. Mom

A Quick Update

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

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??...
