Christmas & trip to GA

We left for GA on December 18th.  Chad had class in the city, so the girls and I headed down to pick him up and be on our way.  

If you hate touristy things in NYC...just skip this section!  We try not to be crazy tourist, but we don't know the city well enough to always know where to go other than touristy places.  We had to stop and get a picture in front of the tree.  It was wet and cold!  Not the kind of weather to hang out and do much of anything.  After a few pictures, we headed to Bill's Burgers on 51st.  The burgers were really good and the milkshakes looked fantastic...maybe next time.




We stopped in New Jersey for the night and headed to Raleigh to Chad's grandparents the next day.  The girls absolutely love going to their house.  They have a little dog, Missy, that the girls keep busy during their visit!  We kept telling Mya we were going to Daddy's grandma's house; when we got out she looked at Grandma Monroe and said, "You're not the real Grandma! You're pretend Grandma!"  I guess she was expecting Chad's mom!

Again, I am terrible about taking pictures... I hardly have any pictures and most of them are just of my kids!

Stockings are definitely not an after thought at my parents house...they aren't even big enough to hold everything!







Christmas round 5 at Grandmom's house

After Grandmom's we went back to Chad's parents for a little while.  Lots of family, lots of fun.  We are blessed!

December 30th - our sweet girl turned 3!


New Years Eve at Nana and Papas - We set a timer at 9:30 and let Addison countdown the "New Year."  We got a little crazy - flavored sparkling water, no sugar, no carbs. ;)  
Unfortunately Chad was sick and spent the day in bed...so we weren't really together on New Years again.  That's ok.  One floor away is better than an ocean or two.  

Play-dough time at Grandma's




These deer came right behind my parents' house almost every morning we were there.  Good thing for them none of us hunt!


Our sweet Addison turned 6!  I was so glad she wanted to go out for Mexican on her birthday! :)

    Ok, I love how you call NYC "the city." I need to start saying that! :) And, I love your hat! So cute! If you're going to freeze your tail off in the winter, might as well look cute, right?

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'...
