Niagara Falls - Canadian Side

We've always been told that the Canadian side of Niagara is so much better than the American, so the next morning, we got up and drove over the bridge into Canada to check it out. I've been to several foreign countries, but this was my first time to drive into one. Thankfully the line wasn't too long, considering the G20 summit was going on just a short drive away in Toronto.

Standing across from the falls really did provide a better view, but it felt like it was raining from all the mist!
Here's another view of the Maid of the Mist boat tour
You can't really even see the falls!

Next time we visit we want to go on the tour where you can walk underneath the falls. On the way back across the border, the border patrolman was looking through our car. He asked Addison, "Who are these people?", referring to me and Chad. Of all times for Addison to be shy!! She just looked down. Thankfully he didn't think we were abducting her and asked, "Is that your Mommy?" Addison only gave a little nod and he just chuckled and waved us through. Needless to say, we explained that if we are going to go into Canada very often, she has to answer their questions!

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  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'...
