Homeschool & Fun Stuff

Being a home schooling family often affords us opportunities that kids in traditional school don't always get. Many of our activities do not include being stuck behind a desk :) I love that my kids are learning about gardening, cooking, and other fun things, such as being TV personalities! Here are a few fun pics of how we spent some of our days over the last few months.

Semi-Annual Update!!

Today I am feeling inspired to update our friends and family on our lives over the past six months! We are now fully settled into our new house. After months of cutting through huge amounts of vines, brush and fallen trees, the outside is actually starting to look a little more put together. There is alot more to do, but it takes a while to tame almost three wild acres. The kids have enjoyed helping!

And we have found a few friends along the way!

We have been busy in our typical way; school, church, friends, life in general. Overall we are doing well. The kids are growing and doing well in their school work. We are continuing to make new friends through our home school co-op here, which has been a blessing for us, and generally life is good. I am working on various culinary and writing projects, which I am excited about, more to come on that! Anyway, that's a  very quick update more to come very soon!! PROMISE :)
