Well, it's been a loooong time since I blogged.  Between losing our 4th baby and life and homeschooling, I haven't had time or inclination to blog.  I'm not even sure if I should or not.  I do struggle with having relevant things to say.  I don't want to just yammer on to myself, kwim?

However, an update...

I am pregnant again.  With our 5th child.  If the baby cooperates, we'll be finding out what it is in exactly 1 week.  At this point, I'll just stick with a healthy baby that the Lord lets us raise, although a little pink to offset 4 blues would be nice. ;)  So far, the pregnancy has gone extremely well.  I usually have a lot of energy and relatively few discomforts.  I'm feeling lots of movement, especially during homeschool time.  :D 

For homeschooling, we're getting ready to start the 2nd quarter of Sonlight's Core 1.  DS will be about 1 semester behind his peers, come fall, but we're really not worried - that's why we homeschool, eh?  It's going well, and he is progressing nicely.

All the Garden boys are growing and growing up.  I can't believe that our sweetest little one is 3!!  He is so talkative and imaginative lately.  It is so fun to spy on him when he is playing.

I've been sewing some maternity items, and I've started a couple of blankets for the new baby.  It started out as an act of hope and faith, but now I can't decide which one, and I guess if we find out gender next Thursday, that will determine which one gets finished. ;)  One is out of a superwash wool in peach and terracotta.  The other is a pinwheel blanket out of a variegated cotton - peach, brown, and cream.  I'm trying to stay neutral, but you can tell that the neutrals do have a little more of a "girl" flavor.  If it's a boy, I'll finish the peach/terracotta blanket and crochet a boyish trim in brown.

Can't think of much else, and I must be off to finish supper.  I have to take a meal to a family from our church, so I need to get hopping!
