Block Leave - Braves Game

Being the baseball fans that we are, going to a Braves game is one of our favorite things to do. We were excited to be able to go with Chad's brother and his family while in Georgia over block leave.

The Braves recently retired Tom Glavine's jersey - one of my favorite players.

I love getting to the ballpark early and walking around before the game starts. We saw Ed and Heba - the winners of Season 6 of the Biggest Loser.

Tony and Chad about to enter - Dance for your dinner. I encouraged them to do it, thinking they would would get a coupon for a free hotdog... Chad didn't make it pass the first round, but Tony made the final three!

Unfortunately the Braves got killed by the Marlins!

Friday night fireworks is always a good time! Fun night!!

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'...
