Brendan's Brush with Baseball Greatness
We've had an action packed week of baseball. Alyssa and Brendan both participated in their final week of playoffs. Brendan's team made it to the championship game which was no small feat with 13 teams in the division. While they lost the championship, we were all very excited just to have gotten that far. Brendan had a great hit in the semi-final round that went right over the third baseman's head. It resulted in two RBIs and, though Brendan hadn't ever heard of an RBI, he was thrilled to have made two with one hit. He has recounted the story several times now but cannot seem to get quite the right letters in quite the right order. It doesn't seem to matter if he calls them FIRs or BRIs, everyone knows what he means and it has been good for Brendan to spend a little time in the spot light. Great job Nationals!

My Blog
A few years ago, when our oldest was 4 and her two brothers were both in diapers, my in-laws were a few days into a visit from their home 3000 miles away when my father-in-law noticed that the rug under the dining room table was in serious need of vacuuming. He is not prone to domestic duties (his wife is a great housekeeper) but seeing the need, he decided to try his hand with the Hoover. As soon as 'Grandpa' declared his intention to get out the vacuum, four little feet ran for the toy box to get vacuums of their own. We had one toy vacuum and we improvised a second from a 'popper' push toy. The baby, who was not yet walking, was right in the thick of things on all fours, never one to be left out. Grandpa, trying to maneuver the self-propelled 'Wind-tunnel' around the 10 foot rug while avoiding the table legs and dodging his three little helpers, remarked in exasperation, "I just wanted to clean the rug, I wasn't looking to start a three ring circus." Welcome to my life!
About Me
My name is Tiffany. I am a 39 year old mother of 4. My husband, John, and I planned to homeschool even before we married 17 years ago but it would be several years before our oldest would be ready to start on this journey. We had our children in alphabetical order, quite by accident at first, but once we got started, we figured we had to keep it going. They are Alyssa 10, Brendan 8, Chase 6, and Emily 3. Our 4th baby, D, miscarried at 13 weeks. We have no intention of making it to Z.
