About Me

Happily married mother of nine children, from nineteen down to three. After twenty-one years of marriage and fourteen years of homeschooling, I am still trying to figure out the "best" way of managing my home and our family. Little things make me happy and my life is full of them.

Just when you thought I was gone forever........an update! 

We are in Pennsylvania.  Not sure how I feel about it.  It is beautiful, the people are surprisingly nice (for a bunch of Yankees.....sorry, my Georgia slips out sometimes), we have a wonderful house, life is good.  But it just doesn't feel like home.  Walt tells me I do not have to love, love, love every place we live.  So true.  This place will be nice for now. 

Thanksgiving with family was wonderful.  The kids are still buzzing about cousins and when will we see cousins again.  We had a quiet, simple, warm Christmas in our new home, complete with a fire in the fireplace and a big dinner.  We have since accumulated about two feet of snow in our yard with more coming this weekend.  The snow is nice but I am dreading the mud that is sure to follow. 

Samantha is in Russia, going on the third day.  Very happy and excited to be there.  It sounds like she has a nice place to live and good food, her Mom is happy.  Ryan has bought a 69 VW bus to restore, my hippy child.  I went with him up into New York to buy it, drove over the Erie Canal, which we thought was amazing, and then drove back home in a blizzard.  I do not recommend driving 69 VW bus' in blizzards!  But we made it and he is busy restoring it. 

Hopefully soon I can start writing more often.  I miss it.  But in the meantime, a family picture taken shortly after Christmas........
