Homeschooling a Houseful

Life is normal

I haven't blogged because I don't think I have had anything exciting to share. Life has just been sailing along rather smoothly.

The one thing I can share is that my baby girl is changing so fast. I don't know if I have ever noticed so much changing with my other children. I think that I am watching her and enjoying her so much more because I don't know if she might be our last. On Friday I couldn't believe how different she was from the day before. Where I would try to keep Hilarie up for 2 hours, on Friday she was up for three hours in the morning and again in the afternoon without my even having to work for it. Hilarie is held most of the time. Seems each baby we have is held more and more. At about 3 months old we start giving baby short spurts of floor time and on Friday Hilarie played happily on the floor and I forgot that she was even up. She is so smiley and laughs more easily now. It is so bittersweet. I can't wait to see what she will be like. I look forward to seeing her chubby little legs toddling around, but at the same time I want to hold on to today...forever. I sit here with tears in my eyes because I so loving her baby days. What a precious gift, and I am making every effort to treasure these days in my heart. It is a good thing I scrapbook and I hope to do a good job of getting my heart into her scrapbook.

We are in our mud pie days. Today, the boys, particularly Jacob did a fabulous job of making some very tidy mud pies. By the time I was shown the creations it was dark, tomorrow I will be taking photos for the album. Little boys are so fun, especially when they come in fours. The little boys have been playing outside most of day and I will admit I am feeling much more relaxed as a result of having a quieter house.

Hollie is in driver's education and I can't believe I will soon have another child that is driving. I think I am not as nervous about it this time, I suppose the second child is easier since the first one broke us in. Hollie is getting registered for college in the fall. She will be attending Moody Northwest Bible college where her older sister Heather is graduation from on May 6th.

Think about that, I have a child graduating from college, little boys making mud pies and a nursing baby in my arms. Ahhh...could life be any better.

I am really surprised at how keeping a blog is helping me to look back and reflect on my day and my family. This is a good thing for me to be doing. I hope to keep more consistent, to take the time to do this because I feel I appreciate my family more when I sit down and take the time to think about the blessings...big and small.

Well, good night for now.
Liz
