busy busy busy

Sorry for the blogging drought! We have been super busy here! Chad takes command tomorrow and I have been preparing all the food for the reception following. In the midst of such a crazy week I also decided to paint our half-bath, Addison had her first day of soccer and I started Mya on cereal! Chad's parents are in town for the ceremony and will stay through the weekend. We are going to Niagara Falls - our first Canadian visit! After such a busy week, I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend and my Mom's visit on Tuesday! yay for visitors!
Pictures of everything will be coming soon....

  1. How is addison liking soccer?? Maddie hated it and I was so very sad about that. She doesn't have a long enough attention span to play one sport for a whole hour! Guess we will try Jacob this fall.

  2. She liked it after she got over being shy for the first few minutes. She has been talking about starting soccer for so long, so I'm glad she like it. Thankfully it is just a 45 minute clinic right now, so we don't have to worry about keeping her focused during a game just yet. I'm sure that did make you so sad that Maddie didn't love it! Maybe she will one day!

    Congrats are in order, right??

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
