North, West, East, and eventually South

By
Last year at this time we were up to our eyeballs in paint, carpet, new floors and BOXES. Tonight I am up to my eyeballs in luggage!

Tomorrow we will leave the heat of Georgia for the frigid temperatures of South Dakota by the way of Illinois where we will be joined by David’s parents, who will go with us. My mother-in-law reminded me tonight that I should bring a coat for the Black Hills. She knows me well and had to share a sweater with me a few weeks ago when I almost froze to death in Tennessee. Well, not quite.

We’re packed. We’re excited and SO glad there’s not a paint can to be seen!

What a priceless opportunity...time with our family is such a gift. I know you are not taking that for granted with all the events your family and extended family has gone through this year. You've taught me a lot, too, by sharing the journey. I hope it's a wonderful trip for all of you!!!

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
