Monday Meandering

First of all, the “snow” event was a “no” event. A whole lot of hype for nothin.’ (that’s for my father-in-law who recently blatantly accused me of speakin’ like a southerner which, of course, I am not). He is going deaf.

We got a skiff of snow but since the temperatures were so low, there was a lot of concern about black ice. It was a great excuse to make chili and play games. We had a lot of fun until things got a little wild. Anybody with boys know what I am talking about?

Church services were cancelled on Sunday and so David and listened to 5 services from our “home” church in Kentucky and our favorite pastor, Dr. Robert Whitaker. We were inspired and challenged to keep the faith!

We also spent the weekend transforming our kitchen cabinets and we are about 90% finished.

Tomorrow the guys will return to school. Seth will wander around most of the morning seeking for them and missing them like crazy. I considered going to MOPS tomorrow but I am involved in another Bible Study by Beth Moore: Stepping Up, A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent. I am longing to spend more time in it tomorrow. God is speaking to me through this! Girls, if you have a friend who has moved recently, I would recommend it! It is not necessarily for women who have moved but for those of us in this category the parallel is amazing! I am looking forward to digging deep in this tonight and tomorrow.

That pretty much wraps up our last few days. Love you all!

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do...

March 2: HOME!!

From his vantage point at our front door, three-year old Seth delightedly shrieked, "Mommy," and I turned in time to see Amy being driven down our long driveway. Our three blond-haired boys buried their faces in their mother. Even the house sighed contentedly. Amy's home. A Happy Husband, David

Homeschooling Curriculum Help?

Shannon is hosting a backwards edition of what-works-for-me Wednesday , where you can ask for advice/ or suggestions instead of giving them. Yeah! I need some advice. David and I are really praying and considering homeschooling our boys, K4 and grades 2 and 6 —beginning this fall. Can anybody recommend a curriculum, either as a whole or as a subject, that you are crazy about that doesn’t make you crazy? Secondly, if you could give one tip for “survival” what would that be?
