Laptop Update

The good, the bad, and the ugly… The good: I’m now sporting a brand new laptop thanks to having a warranty on my old one. They finally declared the old one a lemon and replaced it. I just needed to pay for a new warranty if I wanted it. Um, yes please… The bad: they couldn’t back up my data. The ugly: I lost all the pictures, ebooks, and other data that didn’t back up during my last back up session. The good: I sent many of the pics to D, so he has them. I should be able to…

Lunar Eclipse

Posted in Homeschooling, and Thoughts

Tomorrow, Wednesday, February 20th, there is going to be a Lunar Eclipse. Munchkin is very excited; we’re praying for clear skies. We should get home from church just in time to watch it. She’s also excited that she’s going to get to stay up later than normal to watch (weather permitting). LUNAR ECLIPSE: On Wednesday night, February 20th, the full Moon will turn a delightful shade of red and possibly turquoise, too. It’s a total lunar eclipse—the last one until Dec. 2010. Sky watchers in Europe, the Americas, parts of the Middle East and Africa are favored for good views…

Homeschooling Update

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

We’re really enjoying our studies right now. As we continue reading the Little House series, we are very much appreciative of the warm house that we live in. We’re glad for electricity, running water, and stocked grocery stores. We’re glad that we have warm clothes that don’t need to be patched again and again. We’re glad that we don’t have to twist hay into hay sticks to burn for heat and cooking because there is nothing else to heat the house. We’re glad that we don’t wake up covered in snow and freezing because the wind is blowing through the…

Exercise Fun

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Since Munchkin isn’t currently in a sports or p.e. program, I decided that I needed to find a fun way for us to exercise together. I settled on Dance, Dance, Revolution (Disney version) for the Playstation 2. We have 2 mats, so we can dance together. Munchkin was frustrated when she tried to do it alone, but we both have a blast when we do it together. And, we get a great workout in the process. We’re still in beginner mode, but hoepfully, we’ll get better as time passes. There is also a Christian version, but that hooks up to…

Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted in Holidays, and Thoughts

12This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends. 14You are My friends, if you do what I command you. John 15: 12-14 Munchkin learned this scripture passage this week. She really liked verse 13 and referred to it as the Marine verse. God gave us a wonderful example of perfect love when He gave us His son. Now, we need to be willing to share that same type of love with others…
