Creative Homeschool Exerience

Happy New Year!

Here are a couple of slide shows with the boy's. Hubby is in one but it's mostly of the boy's. I get camera happy with the boy's I guess LOL. My older son likes to hide from the camera at times too but my youngest just loves the camera LOL. He's such a ham.

Just wanted to wish everyone a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I have so much to be thankful for this passed year. For the first time as a family we got to go on a vacation to Mackinaw. I also joined a wonderful club called the MOMS Club and the kids got to do a lot of things and I got to do a lot with them. This was/is our second year of homeschooling and it has been so much easier then our first year and we have grown to really love it!! Would have missed a lot of this stuff had we not decided to homeschool! I am also thankful for hubby's job for me to be able to stay at home and be with the kids and homeschool them. I am so thankful for the little things in life we were able to really enjoy too. Going to the zoo, meeting new friends and learning new things even if it wasn't in a "class room". I am thankful that my little Niece was born and all through she had a rough start with her lungs she is a picture of health now. There are so many things to be thankful for in the year that is about to be over. Sure we've had a few rough roads but without these challenges we wouldn't be who we are and I love us!! God has really blessed us this year. God is Great isn't He?!

As for New Years Resolutions I don't really have any but I do have a goal with reading the whole Bible this year. I did a couple years back but I Really need to focus more on God then I have been. I seem to get busy with everything else. I need to focus more on Him. Not just for me but for the boy's. So they can truely see where our focus should be. Not just on where I say they should be. God has been with us through the years. Especially through the hard years like when we had our fire or before that when my MIL was dying of cancer. Don't know where we would be without Him.

I really need to lose weight but I am going to try and do it one day at a time instead of saying I am going to lose X amount of weight. This way I can be happy with every pound I do lose and not be disappointed when I don't lose as much as I want. I am not going to allow myself to get discouraged. This is my goal anyway.

That is about all my goals for the new year other than of course striving for a closer relationship with God and my family. What are yours?

Wow, great slide shows. It was fun watching those pictures and getting to know your family a bit better. You mentioned reading through the Bible this year, which is also one of my resolutions. If you go www.backtothebible.org/devotions you can find a guide to reading the Bible chronologically in one year. Thats what I'm hoping to follow.

May God richly bless you this year!
