2010 School Pictures

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

We had fun taking some school pictures of Munchkin.  We’re still not sure we have the right shot yet as the sunlight appears too bright in most of the pictures… Munchkin doesn’t like the angle on this one, so I doubt it will make the cut. She’s not sure if she likes this shot either as it doesn’t really feel like her. This is our favorite picture, but due to the sunlight, she’s squinting a bit.  It definitely shows the true Munchkin more than the other two pictures.  We may need to try some more once the sun isn’t as…

This, That, and a Smashed Finger

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

How’s that for a crazy title? On Saturday, while helping D work on his truck, I smashed my finger, so I’m trying to type without the use of my index finger.  Not an easy task. lol!  My finger is red, black and blue and swollen.  The swelling is starting to go down some, so hopefully, I’ll be able to use my finger again in the near future. D and I are praying about some decisions in our lives right now, so that has really been our focus for the last few days. I’m working on getting a few projects done…

Saying Goodbye to My Grandpa

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Many miles away, my family is holding the memorial service for my Grandpa.  It’s a small, graveside funeral.  People are sharing stories, memories.  Tears are being shed.  Hugs are being given.  Laughter and sorrow will be mixed together.  It’s a bittersweet day for all. You see, my Grandpa has been ill for some time.  He had many ups and downs.  He was a fighter, but even fighters eventually must rest.  He is now eternally resting.  We all knew that this day would come, but saying that final goodbye is not easy.  I will chose to focus on the positive today.…

Sunny Summer Days

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

It seems that lately Munchkin and I are making the most of our summer afternoons by working on various craft and sewing projects.  She’s still having fun playing on the Wii and playing outdoors with her friends, but almost every day, we’re doing some little project together. I’m so enjoying this time together with her and the chance to talk with her without outside distractions.  I’ll be posting some of these projects as time allows.  She wants me to show off her latest projects – God’s Eyes.  Lord willing, I will pictures of them along with instructions tomorrow. D has…

The Little Things in Life: Sewing Together

Posted in Family, and Homemaking

On Thursday afternoon, Munchkin decided that she wanted to try to make a sock monkey.  She’s always adored sock monkeys and thought it would be fun to make her own.  We didn’t have the “right” socks for the job, but she didn’t really care.  We looked up the basic design for the sock monkey set off on our sock monkey adventure.  Slowly, the monkey started to take shape as we sat there talking, cutting, sewing, and stuffing.  We laughed as the monkey was a little too skinny and had crooked ears, but Munchkin was pleased with the results.  I just…
