Our Grand Adventure
Mar. 11, 2007
Going Ons' and Taking a Break

Spring is in the air today, and I love it! It is already 1:00 and we haven't gotten to school yet as it is just so nice outside. Just as the bees are buzzing, so are we.

I have started making our toothpaste, and that is going well. I am very happy with the results and having fun expirmenting with various flavors and such. I am also quite happy that we are saving at least $10 a month by making our own!

We have gone down to Lee's parent's who live about 5 hours south of us. It has been good for us to get to know thier life again. Just before we moved to PA Lee's Dad had a stroke, which dramtically changed their lives. This new life they live is not one we have been a part of and it is so important for us to be a part of it.

The weeks we go down we spend half the week here and half the week there, this is hard, but neccessary!

We believe the Lord has shown us one part of His plan for our family, and so we are trying to figure out how we will be obedient to that.

I have sproted many grey hairs in the last month, guess I will get to enjoy my crown of glory for a long time!

We continue to do school and will continue to do school year round taking breaks as needed. I have started to beef up the big boys school work and am planning on taking them to the next level throughout the next couple of months.

We have seen the Lord's plan in placing Sheldon and Austin just 12 months apart. Many times over the last few weeks, I have heard a still small voice saying, "that is why they are so close in age." While getting pregnant when my first baby was just 3 months old was a shock, God had a plan, just as His word tells us. He is so awesome! This has been an encourager to me as it is 10 years later and the Lord is chosing to show us the why in this area.

Still working on our garden plans, and anxious to get started.

At two, Zachary is still nursing strong. We nurse anywhere from 6-9 time in 24hrs. I have always wanted to nurse until my baby was two, but typically by this age I have already had another baby and and pregnant again. Zachary loves his "yummy mommy milk", and I don't have the heart to wean him just yet, so we will continue for now.

I have really been pondering why exactly is it that I have this blog. I am considering shutting down my blog. I'm just not sure what the purpose is and whether or not it is benefical. So, I will be taking a break from blogging until I decide.

that is so wonderful that you are still nursing! it is but a short time and it will be over too soon. i enjoy reading your blog. it is so edifying that others have the same mindset and vision; the encouragement is so needed especially when we are in churches that do not support, understand or encourage what we do............how do you make toothpaste?
