Day By Day - Cleaning House

Cleaning House

After today, I'm going to try and keep my homeschooling blog and my personal blog seprarate. I thought to move all posts not schooling related (knitting, grief, etc) to my other blog: Journaling Back to Joy at http://www.osbornz.net/amy but that task is a little daunting! lol

But from this day forward - I hope you will come read about the other parts of our life there. :)

Also, check out http://cornerstoneacademy.osbornz.net for more of our favorite homeschool links.

I also have 2 blogs. My 'catch all' blog and my homeschoolblogger.com blog. It's a great idea to have a theme for each.

Thanks Amy,
I will checkout the tracker!
And I will try and pop over to the rest of your life every once in a while. My blog is mostly homeschool too - family likes to keep up.

About Me

Day by Day....we strive to learn together, love each other and have some fun. Day By Day.... we strive to raise our boys to be knights and warriors for the Lord. Some days it's a struggle...

Cast of Charaters

Me - I like to read and knit. I've been a Christian for many years and loving learning about God and seeing the Lord work in our lives! I also post on my other blog, "Journaling Back To Joy"
DH - Is a theologically trained teacher of 4th graders at a Christian school. He loves astronomy, LOTR and playing with the kids! He is the funniest man I know.
J1 - 12 - our oldest. He came to live with us when he was 16 mos old and completely turned our lives inside out! While he is struggling with self-control right now - he is the one who can brighten the room just by smiling! He loves creating things from our recycling and anything that allows him to move (trampoline, skateboards, inline skates, etc)
J2 - 11 - our middle son. He is the one who I am currently homeschooling. He loves to create things from Legos and he loves movies. He would watch movies all day if I let him :( He has just had a major breakthrough in reading - for which we are praising the Lord!
J3 - 6 - my joy. He has a very tender heart for me and really works hard to make me happy. He loves to cuddle and is just learning about Legos. He wants to be with his big brothers so much, but the age difference is a big hurdle right now.
Joshie - 5/29/02 - 2/22/03 - Our surprise! Our only pregnancy that the Lord allowed - and we were blessed to have him for those short mos. We are all still grieving his loss - you'll hear alot about that from time to time. We look forward to getting to know him someday.
