We are switching to ABEKA!

Due to my current job schedule and recent acceptance into the OSHA program, I am going to use Abeka DVD learning for the next year. Nervous YES! Scared, A little! Am i disappointed in Sonlight, NO WAY! We are just having to do what we have to do!

So will update and post pics of the arrival of our new curriculum! LATER!

Amazed...

Dylan... sitting at the table driving his cars through the modeling clay says... "ITS ALWAYS TODAY"

Its always today... The more i think and ponder on this I am amazed by the wisdom of children. Not just my own, but all kids have the gift, until scarred by us to know certain truths. How easy it is to get so busy with life. The amazing idea... IT IS TODAY! No waiting for tomorrow for it will never come, and yesterday cant be changed or alter, it was after all another today that has passed...

We have today, we have this moment, we will have forever. No doubts from this blogger. My forever is locked in by the blood of Jesus who died on a cross for all sinners so that we may HAVE LIFE!

Wow, Its always today!

Christmas down Birthday's next

2010 was great. Many ideas and concepts mastered. Dylan is reading great. Multiplying/division is coming along. Mandy is mastering her phonic skills and she is excelling in math... Yeah! Next step, NARRATIVE WRITING for Dylan... oh my this has been a CHALLENGE. Onward solider, we march...

After Christmas, we must start our birthday fiestas... Dylan and Mandy were born 3 years and 11 days apart. This year we are combining their parties. They weren't extremely thrilled with this idea, but birthday cakes and ice cream sure will smooth over everything. :)

We will being having the party within the next two weeks! Yikes! Better step up my game and get busy!

A little enlightenment Goes Far...

Recently I have had the chance to study a GREAT Bible Study. Beth Moore's A Woman's Heart, God's Dwelling Place. I simply LOVED IT. Had such great history, and she is a great teacher. I guess the best part was her love of doing it. She is so covered with the love of God that it spills into the pages and she teaches us what the Lord has taught her. GO GET THIS BIBLE STUDY, its GREAT!!!!

I have seen peeps, drag, moan, and complain in everything they do whether it be wiping a kids nose, working hard at their job task, or even having fun (ex. its too hot, its too cold, im to tired to do this or that) People Wake up! You have one shot, one life, and if you dont enjoy every single min. of it then its your loss...

Now, I would like to clarify a bit... I do not mean living to the extreme, we all will meet God one day, and we will have to answer for every action, word, and deed that we take part in... I sure hope he tells me WELL DONE. I am working on it, but I fail time after time... I do see the beauty all around me. Esp the beauty of people, all of them. The ones who are floundering. The ones who are boring, the ones who are what the world calls 'uncool' I love them all... got to admit though, I am not good at getting along with them all yet... pray for me there too!

He who has start a work in you will finish it! Even though it takes a life time!

Nov. 6th 2010

I know its been an awful long time since I blogged.... I would like to say we have been BUSY! DD: has made loads of progress with reading and her math is zooming. DS: he has learned to enjoy reading, but we are working on it. We are starting the process of writing which has been as fun as a trip to the dentist... UGG! I will NOT give up! I wont let him either.

On a lighter note, my trip with God is in overdrive. I have been restored, renewed, and enlightened by the Father above... Praise the Lord. DS: accepted the Lord in his heart July 31st 2010... the holy spirit was all over my house, and I didnt even realize that my son was being called to the kingdom of heaven... WOW! So glad God gave me the chance to be his mom! W2G Dylan!

We are visiting Yorktown Va. Since Aug. we have been to Pennington, AL, Courtland, AL, and Yorktown, VA. Its starting to get cold, and our southgeorgia skin is showing through. BRRRRR! and its only 57 degrees...

JUNE - JULY 2009

We have traveled a lot year and wow, the things we have learned. One of our newest addition to our adventure has been Geocaching. We love to hunt boxes in awesome and great locations. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys the outdoors to check into this "sport." www.geocaching.com

In June, 2009, we headed up the country to Ticonderoga, NY... Amazing country... Beautiful mountains, huge lakes, and wow..... cows??? I guess being a southern belle all my like I never expected upstate NY to have such a rural atmosphere....

Most of the month, we hung out climbed 4 mountains, swam in the lakes of Champlain, and we had the BEST ICE CREAM EVER!!!

This was a very nice hike to our "box"... Once at the top, we had to sit right there and rest!!!

Today was Great

Our adventure at the library.  For the longest time, I have been avoiding the library.  Up until today, the library has been an experience of total embarrassment for me since the birth of my adorable and controlling daughter, Mandy.  She was awesome, and she obeyed, and she respected others.  I am thrilled.  Hopefully, this day will be repeated over and over again.

Another goal I set for ds was locating his own book.  He was successful.  To the card catalog, entered info, and located the book, with a little help from me.

We had a great first day of school, and they accomplished much.  This is going to be the best year yet!

I write this now for encouraging words in the up coming months>>> HAHAHA
