On The Same Page

We are 3 weeks into this homeschooling adventure. All in all I think it is going pretty well. Leighton is loving it and Caedmon is having fun playing with trains or reading or whatever during the class time and I am learning how to balance my attention between the two of them. Clint and I […]

Gardening 101 Week 24

There’s a vine invasion going on at my house. The cantaloupe (which I didn’t plant by the way, the ones I planted all died….) as well as the watermelon (also didn’t plant those) and the pumpkins (I DID plant those) have all taken over their areas and are quickly spreading to new spots. I have […]

Dear Edric #5

Dear Sweet Edric- How are you doing? You are growing and growing. I love getting your photos each month but they also make my heart ache. I want to be with you and watch you run from place to place and see your eyes light up. The last progress report said that you pretty much […]

Edric’s 10th Package

Wow! We are already at 10 packages. Praying we don’t get to 20, and still hoping that we won’t reach 15….. As each month goes on, I gather stuff all month long and add it to our cabinet above the computer. That way I can pull stuff down and put together a package and have […]

First Week Down!

We had our first week of homeschooling! It was actually last week, and I’m a few days behind getting around to writing this, but super excited about how well it went. I have to be honest and say that I was nervous about how it was going to go and if we were going to […]

Tri #3

So I think I’ve officially been bitten by the Tri-Bug. I completed my 3rd sprint tri last weekend and had a blast. I got to do it with 3 fun friends which made it all the more fun. I had moved on from my goal being to just finish to actually doing better on each […]

Edric’s 9th Package

I just got Edric’s 9th package mailed off earlier this week to travel with a family this weekend. We got photos of Edric last week and showed him playing with the rings and clutching the photo book that we sent in package #8. He should get this package at the end of August when he […]

Homeschool Adventure

So I’ll be totally honest. I really have no idea what I’m doing. Not sure if anyone else is in this boat does as well. I’m not even sure it’s a boat that is going to float or not yet… And if you had told me a year ago that I was going to be […]

Happy Birthday Leighton

5 years old! It has been such an amazing journey and so much fun to watch Leighton grow from being such a tiny preemie to the confident and fun little boy. He’s got a smile that will light up a room and a hug that will melt any heart. He is sweet and kind and […]

Focused Time

It’s not very often that Caedmon gets alone time with Mommy. There is often a bigger brother involved. It can be rough being the little brother. So whenever there is an opportunity to have a little time with just Caedmon I try and take it. We had such an opportunity last week while Leighton was […]
