That's My Boy

By
From the day Samuel was born, my mom declared that he looked like me. I denied it over and over.  I already knew Zachary was a composite of his father and me, but I really wanted one child that looked exactly like David. Samuel didn't have David's dimples and the turned up nose, well, I knew where he got that, but oh! I just wanted him to look like his dad. 

As he grew, from the ground up, his body type was certainly like his dad's, so I ignored allll the other things. When someone would comment that he looked like his dad, I'd smile and nod.

I found this picture of me recently, and knew I had a very similar one of him. There's no denying--that's my boy.

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?
