…Just up to my ears in planning the maiden voyage of my life as a homeschool mom. Please forgive my absence. I’ll return soon.

Due to the Olympic Fever that’s hit our home, the boys have been exposed to new aspects of sports.
We’ve been swimming before, but they’ve never seen Mommy or Daddy do competitive swimming starts or flip turns. (I wonder why?! )
I won’t even begin to describe their fascination with parts of gymnastics. I’m just thankful [...]

Ever feel like an underachiever just by hearing about someone else’s accomplishements?
This story did it for me.
One lady… seven babies… all at once! Amazing. To top it off, each of the septuplets weighed more than my preemie daughter Evan, who weighed just two pounds, twelve ounces!

Case in point, last night’s conversation with two-year-old Connor:
Connor: “Mommy, can I have a drink of you’ pop?” He grinned sweetly.
Me: “Nope. Mommy poured you juice, remember? It’s [...]

It’s Vacation Bible School time around these parts. The boys have been so excited all summer. My oldest two are reciting their memory verses repeatedly today. Even though Connor is really too young to technically be involved, he still goes through the motions.
