Support Our Troops

Posted in Family, Homemaking, and Thoughts

Back in August, Alycia wrote about an opportunity to support our troops by making blankets for single Marines returning from Iraq. Since they’re returning in the same time frame that my hubby is leaving, I thought this would be a wonderful thing for Munchkin and I to do to show our support. Well, we bought our material way back in August, but with everything going on around the homefront, we just made the blanket last week. Yikes! The main thing is that Munchkin and I worked together and got it finished. Here’s how it turned out:

Soccer

Posted in Family, Homeschooling, and Thoughts

This year, Munchkin is playing on a Christian homeschool soccer league. She’s having a blast learning the game and just getting out there and playing. She has practices on Friday and games on Saturdays. The good news is that Daddy will actually be able to see a game or two before he deploys!! Her season lasts from September to November. So, we start out toasty and end up freezing (or so I’ve been told). Here are a few pictures. We Scored!!!

Our Week in Review

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

Our week started out with a visit to a new church. We had driven by this church many times, so we decided to try it out this past Sunday. Since it was missionary week, we didn’t really get to experience what the church would normally be like. But, we did experience a very friendly group of people that welcomed us with open arms. We spent most of the day on Sunday relaxing as neither of us was feeling all that well. Monday and Tuesday were just normal school days. We worked a bit harder this week to get things done…

Blogger Friend School: Assignment #4

Posted in Blogging, Fun, and Homeschooling

The truth is that this past week’s assignment left me struggling with some of the answers. Not all of the questions will be answered because I honestly try not to spend that much time on the web any more plus, I lost all of my favorites recently. The only thing that I consistently do online each day now is checking my email. Oh, we do go to One Place nightly to listen to the broadcast of Adventures in Odyssey. First place that you look for a book to buy: eBay, Amazon, book sales, paperback swap Favourite homeschool support area: local…
