Good Friends Are Hard to Come By

By

Where do you find friends who are willing to drive 6 hours with three kids to come HELP us paint our new house?

This summer our friends from Louisville, Erick and Junia Hall, came to Georgia and helped us add trim boards and paint! What a blessing they were to us!


Our kids got along beautifully.



So well, in fact, that their youngest daughter has decided that she should come live with us since she and Samuel do not fight (evidently she was having a bad day with her brothers).

We would consider an arranged marriage but after dicussing their strong personalities--we think that it might not be a match to last--but aren't they too cute?



Thanks for being such great friends!

It is a great to have frinds like that! When we moved almost 2 years ago, our friends insisted that there was no reason to rent a uhaul - they could take care of it. So 3 trucks and 4 vans and about 25 or so people later - we finally unloaded the last bit of it. Our new neighbor (across the street) just stood at the end of his driveway and watched us. Tim finally went to say hello and introduce ourselves. He only looked at Tim and said "Exactly HOW MANY people are moving in?!". We still laugh about it today but it was a great conversation started with many of our neighbors who told us that they didn't know you could have friends like that?! Sad commentary on today's society!Glad that we have friends that will be there through good and bad (and messy!).

Amy, we had a blast getting to come see you and help where we could. We appreciate your friendship. Although we still really miss you here in Louisville it gives us a good reason to travel south for vacation. Thanks for the great memories. Jericka is still saying that she is moving to GA.

Hi! I know you do not know me, but I am Debbie (Stalker) Fike and I attended Union Bible College with Junia and Eric! It was so good to see their pictures on your blog. :) Could you please tell Junia I said hello and I've been wondering where she is? I live in Syracuse, NY so I'm a ways away.

Love your blog!

Hi Debbie! Thanks for visiting!

Junia has a page off my links...it's called "Pooky's Page." You can see pictures of her kiddos, etc. She doesn't write as often as I'd like! :-)

Thanks again for the comment--it's like getting a note from someone -- a delightful surprise!

Homeschooling Curriculum Help?

By
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?

February 27 Update

By
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

Amy does not feel well enough to blog today, so the sub is blogging on her behalf. Yesterday Amy thought she saw some new spots in her left eye and felt that she was experiencing some of the same sensations that she had during her stroke, so she went to the doctor. He said that he sees no new lesions, but that doesn’t mean that she couldn’t have another stroke. He recommended that she begin steroids to reduce any retinal inflammation. Amy continues to need your prayers. Blessings, David
