Just for Fun

Posted in Home Life

I discovered the new editing option at Photo Bucket so I"ve been having fun with some recent pictures. Oh, and in case you're interested, they've all been linked to the originals.

 

Easter 08

Is that (gasp).... Yes, it is! An elusive picture of the author herself!

The Family Circle


* Carey ~ Beloved husband that puts up with everything. He's majoring in history, loves to read, play D&D and Mech Warriors.

* Ami ~ Me. Busy teacher and housewife. I love to spend time with the kids, read, garden, cook, knit, sew, make my own soaps and salves.

* James ~ Our oldest at five. He loves to build with blocks, enjoys the guitar, adores robots and believes he can't live without his trucks (and skateboard).

* Charles ~ My little monkey! Our youngest son at four, he is the most precious gift ever recieved on a birthday. He's a wonderful, sunny little guy that's very inquisitive and artistic.

* Meradydd ~ Our oldest daughter at three. An opinionated and exceedingly bossy little girl with a temper to match her copper hair. My little fashion diva that loves shoes, furlies, & hair pretties.

* Kathrynn ~ Kitty is my 1 year old little angel. She's a beautiful, mellow little girl that's extremely patient but is also starting to show her claws.

Word of the Day

What type of homeschooler am I?

Abraham and Todd Lincoln


Abraham Lincoln ~ You have a Bible and a library card what more could you possibly need? You prefer the Charlotte Mason Method of reading living books for everything: historical fiction, biographies, real histories, nature guides, etc. No soon-to-be-outdated textbooks for you.
