Too Busy to Post...and Here's Why

Hello All,

Again, my apologies for not posting more often.  I do have a camera full of pics to post here, but I just can't seem to find the energy to load them onto my computer.  Soon.  Anyway, the reason for my delinquent posts, as most of you already know, is that we have decided to start homeschooling.  Gulp.  We are both excited and terrified to begin this journey which, I am convinced, will either be amazing or end terribly. :-)  But in order to get under way, I have had to do a lot of planning, organizing, and researching.  As such, I have not had much time for a lot else.  But I plan to update more once we start the schooling process.  I'll keep you posted!

End of Week Pics

I really do have the good intention of posting here everyday - I swear.  It's just that when I come down from putting the kids to bed I sometimes have no desire to upload pics and enter copy. :-)  Surely you all forgive me.  But I hope you are enjoying the posts I do get to.

I love my Big Brother 

Can't you tell how busy and important I am?  I don't even have time to remove my heels to look for a video.

Like doggie, like boy.

Yum! Chocolate ice cream.

Studious Bea.

Sorry to be Gone so Long

Hi All,

Sorry for my lack of posts.  No excuse really, just laziness.  I have found myself being preoccupied with other things once I get the kids down to sleep.  The snow is melting here, which has led to our kitchen ceiling flooding.  Ack.  We had to spend $1200 to get someone out here to de-ice our gutters.  Who knew you needed to do this!  And now we have to get someone to rip out our kitchen ceiling.  Oh my.

Enjoy some pics from the past few days!

Check out our new drapes that keep us warm! Yipee!

Smiles from Bea.

Irish dancing going on.

Oh Lord...The Snow

I have no words to describe this snow.  Well, that's not exactly true.  There is always @#%***&@@!  You should see our yard.  It's ridiculous.  The photos do not adequately represent the actual amount we have.  There are areas in our backyard that literally swallow Ashi up completely.  Sabina was home from school today and will also be home tomorrow.  God is kind, however, and her best friend has invited her to spend the night tonight.  So that makes it a bit easier.

So, we spent the day doing crafts and "homeschooling" lessons.  We are considering undertaking homeschooling again, so we are doing some test runs to see how things go.  So far so good.  But we'll see.  I go back and forth on the issue almost daily.  And yes, I know most of you don't agree with us, so please only say nice things about it. :-)

Not Much to Say...Just Pics

Not much to report over here.  Getting over another bug and waiting for 2 more feet of snow.  They are going to have to dig us out of this house.  Seriously.  Our swing set is almost under snow.  Crazy town.  Hope all those in Indiana are surviving the storm as it moves our way.  Enjoy some pics from the past few days!

Some Pics

Well, we are fighting another bug around here.  Just a cold bug, but more of a pain since it comes so closely on the heals of the barf-a-lapooza.  So, here are just a few pics from the past few days.  Enjoy!

 Two sisters!

The sweater I just finished knitting for Bea. Sooooo warm!
