Well, I guess I should have done this weeks ago. LoL! I never enjoy introductions. But here it is…

My name is Dawn. I am a wife, mother, teacher, maid, encourager, chef, cheerleader, friend, nurturer, and enforcer! Truly nothing more than any other mother here. We as fulltime *every things* rarely stop and think about all that our job entails. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I wouldn’t trade the world for what I have. Yes, I have bad days, but they do not even come close to stacking up to my fulfilling, fun, and full of learning, amazing days that I spend with my precious blessings. I am so grateful to be apart of this online family where I can share our triumphs as well as our struggles.

Matthew is my loving husband and provider.  He is a great father to our three little blessings. He is an NCO in the United States Air Force.  I love being apart of the military family. Matthew is also a perfectionist, and very competitive in all that he does. He is extreme when it comes to structure (no the military didn’t make him that way lol). Yeah, he’s a bit of a different breed but we love him!  He can be very sweet and light hearted and will do just about anything to see me smile. He has given me the greatest gift… being able to be at home and teach my kids! I will forever be grateful for this.

Next is our oldest and wisest child, Jonathan. He is our comedian of the family. He is eleven years old with the attitude of a fifteen year old. Of course we love him just the same. Jonathan is a very loving child, and has a good heart. Sometimes he amazes me with his level of compassion. He is beginning 6^th grade. (Yes, we are starting the school year a bit early but we home school year round.) He enjoys Science, History, and Language Arts. He loves being active. He is currently in ice skating lessons. In the winter he played basketball (that is his favorite). In the last couple of years he has gained a love of reading. He reads when he gets up in the morning, at break time, at lunch time, and during his free time. It has made me so happy to watch this transformation.

Then there is my beautiful princess, Ashlynn. She will be eight this summer and beginning 3^rd grade. She can be quite bossy at times, however usually she is correct in what she is saying. She just needs to work on the way she is saying it. This leads me to believe that I may need to work on this also. She is very perceptive for her age. Ashlynn enjoys all subjects in school, she just loves learning! Most days she makes school time an enjoyable experience. She is also taking ice skating lessons. She loves being on the ice and has become quite good at it. It is wonderful watching her grow into a beautiful young lady.

Last but not least there is Bradley. He just turned four. He begs me every Monday to let him skate when we are at the ice skating lessons. But he is such a little magnet for disaster I haven’t found the courage to put him on the ice. A few weeks ago when we were there he managed to split his face open and he wasn’t even on the ice. LOL! When it comes to learning he is a sponge. I have so much fun working with him. I have never pressured him or made him sit and work, and I don’t think I will ever have to. Bradley is always so eager to learn new things.  He amazes me with what he can learn. He loves to sit and trace letters or numbers when the other two are working at the table.

So there you have it. In a nutshell that is my family!
