Another busy week. Busy is good. We're about 80% caught up now on all the schoolwork we fell behind on while the children were sick. Eva-Joy has almost finished her writing challenge of 50,000 words for the month of November. Noah came up with a new military vehicle Lego design which he posted about and …

Friday File
Life is slowly getting back to normal after weeks of sickness. This week we had our first full week of school in about a month. It felt so good. We have a lot of catching up to do, but the children have been working hard to get their work done. Did I mention how good …
Sweet Things
Our third week of school finished! It's hard to believe we've had three weeks already. Fridays are our most relaxed day - a sweet and pleasant way to end our school week. Some subjects like history and science don't need to be done every day, and I try to make sure we don't have to …
Camping and Scrapbooking
I finally feel like summer has started. We were at a wedding last week where three of my children were part of the bridal party, my husband officiated while I played the piano and acted as an unofficial wedding co-ordinator. Let's just say it took me a couple of days to recover from all of …
Flower People and a Big Apple
I was going to get this up much sooner today, but we had a lot of running around to do. A week from Saturday we have a wedding at our church and three of our children are part of the wedding party. So today in between a piano tuning at our home and the church and …
Rough Start-Good End
This week started out a bit rough. Sunday night the baby had a fever that lingered into Monday. Then Monday afternoon I discovered three new teeth in his mouth - one of which was a molar. Poor thing. No wonder he had a fever. Then Tuesday morning I woke up with the worst headache I …
Best Version – “Let It Go”
This has been a cool week - cool enough for socks and sweater - but bright and sunshiny most days. I can handle a summer like this. My garden is loving in. We've had just enough rain that I haven't had to water the garden yet and loads of sunshine. On a sad note, my …
Some Family Pics
This has been a fairly quiet week. Monday my husband took our two oldest boys on a hike. They drove for a couple of hours and then hiked. The boys aren't always crazy about this, but we believe it's important to get out of the city and into nature. I always find myself feeling so …
Gardening and Sewing
I'm still pinching myself to believe that spring is here, and the weather is warm. I have to believe it when I see our garden. Most of our beans are up. Babies are cute - even baby beans. I put our tomatoes in so I have baby tomatoes too. And I have three zucchini plants up …
Warm Weather = Happy Times
This has been a good week. We actually took a small break from school. I know we're close to the end, but I needed a break. I needed to get out of the city for a couple of days. We were going to go camping for two nights but ended up staying only one because …
