New Year

Wow! I can't believe it has been so long since my last post.  We finally got our car fixed.  I praise God for his faithfulness through all this. Look at a few of my posts if you are not sure of what I'm talking about.  My Uncle has a garage not too far from here so we spent the day down there with him.  He is a Christian and we really enjoy him and my aunt. 

I started thinking about New Years resolutions.  If you are anything like me I say every year that I will loose weight.  This year I decided NOT to set any resolutions.  I turned my whole year over to God.  I'm very excited to see what he has in store for us.  My husband just finished college (on Saturday!!) so we are patiently waiting to find out where he wants us.  I would like to move back to the southern tier of New York State.  That is where I am orginally from.  My husband has applied to a few places down there.  Right now he is just enjoying having free time again.  Frankly, so am I.  Although his studies were done online it still was very time consuming, he works 40-50 hours a week and went to school.  Did not leave much time for family.

The children are finally settling back down to their studies.  They were still wound up after the holidays.  During our Christmas break I came across lapbooking.  Let me tell you.  We have been doing this for almost 2 weeks now.  The children LOVE it.  They are absorbing so much more then just sitting down at the table doing workbooks.  We are reading the book "Around the World in 80 Days" with each we are studying each country they go to.  We learn how they got there, what they ate, how it was during the 1800's in that country.  It is so much fun.

I saw your blog link on the Lapbooking Group and thought I'd peek over at ya. Great news on the car being fixed and your hubby finishing college. I grew up in Pulaski, NY and went to college in Binghamton. So when you said Southern Tier, it caught my eye. If you are familiar with Binghamton, I went to what use to be called Practical Bible Training School. I think it now called Davis College -- just off of the circle that connects the bridge to the mall, the bridge to Vestal and Flora Drive w/Riverside. Wow -- that took some serious brain power!!! LOL Now I'm going to finish reading your blog. Happy Lapbooking
