Our country place

We have moved...

We are so thrilled to be living in the country again!!! 2.3 acres placed in just the right spot...a bit outside of town. We moved off the farm in 2004 and have lived in neighborhoods ever since. I have to admit that I have missed the space and privacy that some land provides. We actually have 3 bathrooms now and a partially finished basement. Pictures will be forthcoming as I can't find my card reader for the computer. Moving is grueling and I wasn't looking forward to it with a small baby, but things have gone pretty smoothly. We had men from our church help with the big stuff and a big corn crib to store boxes that we aren't ready for yet. We hope to use the house for entertaining our friends and family and for anything else that God would desire. He has heaped blessings on us and we are extremely grateful.

New driver!!

Miss Julia turned 16 on the 23rd and marched down to the courthouse the next day to get her license!!! Now the job hunt begins....

October brings...

YUM!

Mondays..

are always hectic! It is hard getting back into the swing after the weekend. We really need to get to bed earlier and get up in the morning earlier, too. ROUTINES! I love them but have trouble sticking to them sometimes. School is going along okay. Carlina and Julia are both doing My Father's World High School and seem to be liking it. It is our first year to try it. Katie, Alicia and Garrett are doing MFW, too...just the basics of it. Thomas is doing Kindergarten Lifepacs, but I don't officially consider him a Kindergartner for the records..next year.

Big news for us...we are moving sometime next month! We closed on our house and are starting to pack things. It will be a bigger place with more than one bathroom on 2.3 acres. We have not experienced country living since we moved off the farm in 2004.
