Tattoo

I like tattoos, or rather - I like the thought of tattoos. I had a couple picked out when I was younger that I thought I'd like to get, but chickened out. At one point I wanted to get the bible verse (reference only) of Micah 6:8 tattooed on my foot. I actually went with a friend, who had a friend who did tattoos, to have it done but when he mentioned that the foot is one of the most painful places to get a tattoo I was out of there.

Since having kids I've often thought about waiting until they learn how to write their name then having that traced/tattooed on me, in their writing and everything. Wouldn't that be cute? I will never have it done though, mainly because I see no need for unnecessary pain, and also because I think my husband would laser it off of me in my sleep, but today when Addie drew this my very first thought was how I would totally get it tattooed on me. I think it's awesome.



Who wouldn't want Addie's giant happy face and a friendly eagle inked permanently on their body?

Maybe for my 40th birthday...

Great picture Addie! I have a friend that tattooed a picture his son drew, it's rad. I'll have to say that tattoo's are not painful compared to child birth, I'm still glad that I got mine.

I now have Addie and "friendly eagle" as the screen save on my Ipod. Uhhh...maybe you should try that instead of getting a tattoo. :)

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??...
