Chad update

I am still ashamed of my lack of blog posts lately, but things have been so busy!  Between being sick, visiting with family and getting ready for Christmas, we have all been staying busy.  Addison loves being in Georgia and getting to see her cousins all the time!  She started a gymnastics class here this week.  I am so glad we found one that she can go to while we are here.

Onto the reason for this post.  Many of you have been asking how Chad is doing.  He is doing well, just staying very busy.  Busy is good in that it keeps his mind busy and makes the time go by faster, but busy also means he is out and about a lot.  I know that is what he is there to do though and we trust the Lord for his protection.

Many of you also ask about what you can send Chad.  With his schedule right now he is in need of more food than before because he is not always able to go to the mess hall to eat.  He does not have a microwave in his room, but he does (or will have soon) the ability to heat water.  So here are some suggestions of things he has mentioned:

peanut butter & crackers
fruit snacks
easy mac (the kind that doesn't require milk or butter)
cheezits
instant flavored oatmeal (don't go overboard with this one...I've never seen him eat oatmeal!)
flavored triscuits
cereal bars (the really unhealthy sugary kind - honey nut cheerios, cinnamon toast crunch)
peanuts (he loves any kind of nuts)
pringles
ramen noodles (he likes the kind that come in a cup so all he has to do is add water)

He said he has a good supply of gatorade packs, sunflower seeds and candy right now.

Anything he gets is appreciated and he if he can't use it, he has lots of guys to share things with.

Thank you for all the prayers and support!  Almost 2 months down!

Picture post coming soon!

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'...
