that I had not blogged in a long time (thanks Kim! ;-) ). I think the busy-ness has gotten to me lately, LOL.

Hmmm... what all have we been up to lately? We have been very busy with the Co-op. We have 4 great classes every week.. This quarter we have had gym class, a weather unit study, a chocolate unit study and a cultures study. The kids have made some really cool projects in their weather class- they just made kite last week. :-) We sampled various types of chocolate last week, and Cody proudly told the grocery store clerk that he only likes chocolate with 6%-8% cocoa. The cultures study has been amazing- Miss Karen dresses the part. They visit a new country every week and sample traditional foods and activities.

We had school photos taken a couple of weeks ago. Check out my kiddos:

We have been lapbooking more. Actually, because of our love for lapbooking, I am now designing lapbooking pages for a few E-Books for TOS. I love doing that- creating lapbooks is such a blast, and it really is a great way to have the kids learn. Retention is always better when the kids are enjoying themselves. :-)

Right now Ella is wearing 1 pink and purple mitton, a purple boot (she loves to wear one purple snowboot), a green flipflop and a winter hat with her pink and purple dress. I gotta say, as terrible as the 2's can be, it is also so much fun too. <-- Yes, I get sidetracked easily.. ADHD is fun, LOL.

Okay, back to updating on us. Hmmmm...  We are preparing for a move to Chicago. My husband and I have been accepted as missionaries with Inner City Impact- a program that is focused on helping kids stay out of gangs, off of drugs and in school. They share the love of Christ through "club" (similar to AWANAs), they take the kids camping and build intentional relationships with the kids and their families. We are working on support raising, which is the hardest part of all of this.

Okay, Ella needs to go to bed and I need to work. :-) Night all!!!
