Better Than Frogs

By

What a sweet little blessing to have Seth at home with me today! I wish I could articulate how excited he was...I must rank higher than frogs eating other frogs, which was a recent happening at preschool. We did a whole lotta of nothin' but when I told him that maybe he would go back tomorrow so I could grocery shop (in peace), he begged. So I relented. I'll have my grocery "helper" with me tomorrow.

I did forget over the last several weeks the exciting things that can happen while you are alone in the shower while a 4 year old is unattended or how "helpful" it is to have the dirty laundry stacked on the back of a trike to be taken to the laundry room...

Oh,, it can get so exciting with a 4 year old on the loose. I have one of my own. Gary and the twins are out the door no later than 7 and then I have time to get a shower and get Elena and I out the door by 8. It gets interesting some time. I wouldn't trade that hour every day for anything!

How Precious!! I always cringe when Patricia wants to go with me to the grocery store. I know that I will be there longer because I have to drag her away from everything...lol. Oh the joy of those moments. I will miss them terribly.

I've been thinking of you lately and wondering how you were doing. I will keep you in my prayers for the complete healing that you need. You truly have a beautiful family.

God bless.

Amy,
I find out many interesting things happen when I take showers, too. Little boys are a handful, aren't they, but I sure do love how they love their mama's.

So happy to read that Seth is home with you some days each week. I just LOVED the picture of him helping out in the yard. I have never heard that Steve & Annie Chapman song but oh how true those words are!!!

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...

March 2: HOME!!

By
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?

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?
