On Sunday, our church started a new study during the Sunday School hour based upon the book A Marriage Without Regrets by Kay Arthur. Our assignment for this week was to read through chapter 1 and answer a few questions. Our instructors recommended doing the study questions together after we had each read the chapter. They felt this would help us learn more about our spouses. The one thing that we both came away with from the reading is that we are very grateful for our relationship and each other. It will be interesting to see how this class goes…

Grapevine Studies Review

“Stick Figuring Through the Bible” From the day that we started the Old Testament Overview Level 4, Munchkin was hooked. She loved drawing the stick figures on the timeline. We had only been doing the study for 2 days when she asked me if we’d also be doing the New Testament. I chuckled and said we needed to get through the Old Testament first. The Old Testament Overview starts with making a simple timeline for all of the major events in the Old Testament. Once Munchkin had drawn the timeline, we decided to laminate the timeline before putting it in…
Parmesan Chicken Bites & Potatoes

Munchkin has started back up with her home economics which means yummy good eats for us. One new thing that has been added to her studies is meal planning and nutrition. Today, she planned out what we would have for supper, and then made a delicious meal for us to enjoy. I wish I would have taken some pictures of her prep work for the meal. She now has her own knife (the handle is pink). We enjoyed a hearty meal of Italian Parmesan chicken bites, Parmesan roasted potatoes, and corn. Daddy gave it 2 thumbs up and was very…
First Basketball Game
Posted in Family
Saturday was the first basketball game of the season. Munchkin is playing on one of the base basketball teams, and Daddy is her coach. She’s thrilled because there are 3 other girls on her team. Yes, it’s blurry, but I still love this picture. Munchkin’s trying to steal the ball which she did do successfully several times during the game. Hustling back to play defense. (They’re not allowed to do a full court press at this age in this league.) Trying to get a rebound. (They were pretty tired by this point as only 5 members of their team were…
Organic & Gluten Free Bargains

When we first arrived here, we decided to look around to see what was in the area. We checked out what stores were available and where they were located. On our way to check out something (I can’t remember what at this point in time), we saw this run down looking building that was labeled discount grocery store. We decided to check it out even though it didn’t look that great. My first impression was not good, but as we began to look around, we started finding lots of goodies. You had to really look through everything, but good deals…
