Children are not a burden to escape or endure; they are a blessing that drives us to Christ because we are incapable of parenting well without Him. - Kim Brenneman

Summer

Soaking up the sun and enjoying life. Taking each day as it comes.
We've decided to homeschool Joshua and Daniel. It's been coming but it is now official. I have the support of Joshua's preschool teachers in this and I've been enjoying preparing and teaching him. Last week we worked on shapes.. he know knows what circles, squares and triangles are. He is constantly finding them throughout the day and pointing them out to me. This week we are working on colors... not to sure if he understands the concept yet, but we'll see.
It's late but i wanted to update with some pictures!

The Beautiful Wall hanging i picked up at a garage sale for 3.50. It may not suit every one's taste but i love it! It's so unique!



Oh so handsome!

Garden Pictures!


Little Farmer boy




Carrots



Green Beans




Sweet Peas



And my field of wild daisies! :)

sweet dreams


Dragon tales and the water is wide

Pirate's sail and lost boys fly


Fish bite moonbeams every night


And I love you


Godspeed, little man


Sweet dreams, little man




Oh my love will fly to you each night on angels wings


Godspeed


Sweet dreams




The rocket racer's all tuckered out


Superman's in pajamas on the couch


Goodnight moon, will find the mouse


And I love you


Godspeed, little man


Sweet dreams, little man


Oh my love will fly to you each night


on angels wings


Godspeed


Sweet dreams




God bless mommy and match box cars


God bless dad and thanks for the stars


God hears "Amen," wherever we are


And I love you


Godspeed, little man


Sweet dreams, little man


Oh my love will fly to you each night


on angels Wings


Godspeed


Sweet dreams

Time is precious. Days go by to fast and little boys grow into young men.
Today i was watching my boys play and i realized that this is such a short season. One day they aren't going to run to me for hugs when they get hurt or run around the house pretending there are pirates chasing them. One day they will grow and be gone and i will be left with the memories that i am making with them now. I am making tomorrows memories today, and i sure hope that it is a good memory for my boys. I only pray that they feel loved and cared for and that they feel the most blessed to have the mother and father that they have. And one day they will look back with good memories and be able to say that we showed them the love of Christ in our every action.
