Home Again, Home Again

By
Well, we are home at last with fond memories tucked away for years to come. We have been crazy-busy doing 5 weeks of well, everything, that has been "waiting" on us! And to top it off, teachers return on Monday, so David is REALLY busy.

We logged about 5000 miles this summer and shared a lot of those miles with David's parents...and we're all alive to tell the story!

I have lots of pictures to share. Coming soon (relatively speaking!).

You forgot the jiggety, jig! LOL. Glad you are back. I saw your comment about getting a piano on facebook. I'm very interested to know what kind it is and what the kids think. If you are up by 5:30 you can give me a call on my cell. I'm hoping to be on the road by then. I have free minutes till 7.

Amy,
Glad to hear you made it home safely! Those 5000 miles you travelled reminded me of the summer trips we took with my family while growing up. Memories that will be treasured - I'm sure!

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...

Remembered by God--Happy birthday, Zachary!

By
The warmth from the August sun absorbed by the concrete blocks of the parking garage of the Allegheny General Hospital was not enough to ward off the chill that David and I felt as we clung together. Clinging like shipwrecked survivors to a dinghy --quite sure we were NOT ready to face the storm of the diagnosis just given to us by the doctor.  An ultrasound is usually a happy event, that first peek at the life not yet seen. But not that day. The grim face of the physician spoke volumes, even in his silence. They suggested that we terminate and quickly as "he" was already 23 weeks.  We walked away knowing that God, in His sovereignty, could redeem even this, but in my flesh, I was terrified. We had no further ultrasounds.  The months passed agonizingly slow, yet somehow they flew by. David named him Zachary because the name meant, "remembered by God."  We were extremely protective of this potential diagnosis and with the exception of a few close friends ...

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?
