Our girls are thriving.
And no doubt, they are thriving because of God’s miraculous hand in their lives.
But there are nine precious children who have welcomed Eliza and Evangeline into their lives with a grace and a strength that is rather remarkable.
We have not had jealousy, or strife, or resentment, but instead the […] Read more…
I’m a Mary
I’m a Mary, not a Martha.
Although I benefit from some structure in my life, I struggle mightily with creating it.
I will sit patiently with you if you are sad, or just want to talk.
I have no problem rocking babies, or children while the laundry piles up.
I don’t mind at all if we get lost in […] Read more…
What I’ve Been Doing Lately
As many of you already know, our home study went really well. Our social worker was so nice and really seemed to enjoy his visit with us. Just before he arrived, we got the play dough out for all the little ones. That was a great idea because the children were all little angels and […] Read more…

Learning to carefully plan our moves,

Sometimes Life Is Hard
I have been absent from this blog far too long. Our internet was down for two weeks in September, and the very day it started working again, our laptop crashed. Suffice it to say, I have grown accustomed to our laptop.
In addition to feeling like I lost my right arm, we were barely into our […] Read more…

I know you all must be growing weary of my scheduling posts. I sure am!
The good news is, this is my last day of working on my schedule. On Monday, I try it out.
If any of you are home schooling and are struggling to accomplish all that you need to in your days, Managers of […] Read more…
Coming Up For Air
Yesterday, for the entire day, I was convinced it was Thursday. I finally discovered my error at 11:30 last night when I was checking my email. You can imagine my feeling of dismay when I discovered I had to live Thursday all over again today, and that I was still two full days away from […] Read more…
Swamped
This time my post is not about water. My mind is inundated instead with choosing curriculum for all of our children, and creating a schedule that will actually allow us to accomplish all those curriculum plans for all my various and sundry children. 🙂 My brain is mush tonight.
On top of that, I have embarked […] Read more…
