Busy, Busy, Busy…

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Thoughts

Life has started to get busy now that the new year has begun. We found out in December that we wouldn’t be staying here like we originally thought. It looked like we were headed to California. Hmmm…. Since I was still recovering from surgery, my mind started to make to do lists like crazy. I’m finally off of restriction although I still need to be cautious not to over do things. Is that possible with an upcoming move? Thankfully, we do have a few months before the cross country trek. One problem is that we never fully moved into this…

Our Week at a Glance

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

D is TAD this week, so Munchkin and I are on our own again. We’ll be continuing on with Munchkin’s new school schedule. This year she’s working on Algebra I, Biology, Spanish, Ancient History, Composition, and Old Testament Survey. I’m sure we’ll throw in a few other things here and there as her interests lead.

Our New Year fun started the next day when we went to the airport to pick up Grandma and Grandpa! Munchkin was so excited that Grandma and Grandpa were coming to visit for a few days. Once we picked them up, we headed over to Chick-fil-a for some lunch. Munchkin was thrilled that she was able to play in the playground inside. When we go there,…
