Flo's and Oplanes

When a girl needs some biscuits and gravy the pickin's are slim here in the OC... so that's why we packed the kids up and headed to Chino baby. We met my parents at my beloved Flo's cafe, right next to the tiny Chino airport and down the street from the prisons and cow pastures. It doesn't get anymore 909 than Flo's, friends. And the biscuits and gravy were exactly what I had been craving for weeks, so good, in fact, that if it weren't 35 miles away I'd go again tomorrow. Such great memories of little me growing up going to Flo's with the fam. (Find pictures mom!). Here are some pics from the morning...



Isn't that the BEST picture of Addison? My mom is gorgeous as usual, but, I'm really thinking Addie-girl should be a model.




Ben really dug looking at the old planes that are parked at the airport there.




Although Im pretty sure Mark liked the food, I think the highlight of his morning was spotting this historical landmark...
A Phone booth.

He wanted his picture take with one because he's pretty sure he'll never see one again... unless we go back tomorrow. :-)

Neither have I... Claudia was not really the buscuit and gravy kind of gal... infact... I think I am thankfull for that. It does not look appealing to me at all. The idea sounds good at first. But I would want mine plain, with some honey butter :)
PS... Addie is booked for modeling :)

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

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??...
