Niagara Falls - American Side

One of the things we are most excited about while living in New York is traveling. After Chad's Change of Command, we drove to Buffalo with Chad's parents to visit some friends and see Niagara Falls. Saturday we went to the American side of the falls. Pictures don't really capture the falls...they are so massive, the mist makes it hard to see and it was overcast both days we were there.

The mist was so thick, it was hard to even see the falls at times.

Making sure Mya knows one day that she was here!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

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'...
