West Point - Day 2/NYC

Saturday was a BEAUTIFUL day at West Point!  Chad had the opportunity to march with the alumni in the parade, but he decided to stay with us and he got to actually watch a parade!  We had to park really far away (by the Rugby field!!) so we didn't get a great spot for the parade.

Addison wanted her picture taken with EVERYTHING!
Walking through Central Area again, Chad told me about this building where they held Honor Boards.  I wish we could have gone in and seen it.  
Washington Hall - notice Mya looking for her sock on the floor!
On our way to the game, Addison wanted to stop by every statue - MacArthur

So nice to watch the game live rather than hitting "refresh" on the computer to keep up with the score!


 The cheerleaders were SO nice!  Addison wanted a picture with them and they brought her down on the field with them!


After the game, we headed down to NYC to visit our friends from Tennessee, Freddy T. and Susan.  It was so good to see familiar faces!  It was a little crazy at times because we have 5 kids under 4 between us, but so fun.  Addison and Jack are only a week apart in age and picked up right where they left off 2 years ago!  Our hotel was a few blocks from the Empire State Building...which was a nice site to see walking to church on Sunday morning!

 We grabbed lunch and headed to a park after church.  Addison wanted her picture behind this little guy!

Even though I didn't get a chance to take pictures, we were so excited to have a chance to visit the Gallery Church.  During our time in New York, we hope to visit a lot more!
 Number 1 reason NOT to drive into the city - traffic!  Number 2 - it cost us $35 to park for less than 24 hours!

    It looks like you had a great time! I wish I could have made it! Maybe I'll be able to go to our 15 year reunion. You all look so happy.

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...

Strength

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'...
