Moving again

Posted in Life

Well once again we are moving. We spent the last 2 days driving from PA to MN. Now we spend a week packing our house and moving again. This time we move overseas. Some days I feel like we do nothing as far as school work, but I then I notice how much they are learning from life, and well military life adds some extra lessons to that too. Some are harder then others, 9 months with out dad around, some are good though, traveling around meeting new people, seeing other countries.
The girls are excitted I am excitted and frazzled trying to make sure everything is in order for the move.

Back in PA

Posted in Life

Well we have made it back to PA. It is nice to be home again too.

We have found a homeschool group and are planning a trip friday with them too. I can't wait. I am ordering the girls shirts this weekend too, then they can wear them on our homeschool outtings.

Now to change all the state requirments over and notify people here that we are here. We are hoping to move before Thanksgiving, but I am not getting my hopes up to much over that either.

 

I ordered more books again. I am trying a different math program with Breanna then with Katelyn. I finally got the Story of the World and the Active book and workbooks, Rod and Staff, for Danelle in Pre-school.

One more day

Posted in Life

Till my mom gets here. The girls made signs to hold at the airport for her. They are so excited to see Nanny. We have so much to do before we leave Sat too though. The house is clean, the laundry is 90% finished. We have to pack, and finish the last of the laundry.
We mailed out a box to Tim again today, and one to Alex, crafts for her and her sister to do when she gets home for the hospital. The girls got cards for Alex today too, they go out tomorrow. Alex is my best friend’s daughter that has cystic fibrosis (http://www.cff.org for more info). She is a very brave little girl, with strong, incredible parents.
I finally started sewing on Morgann's Halloween outfit today. It should be easy, Danelle's is the same, but different fabric and Katelyn's is almost the same too. Breanna's I know will be easy so I haven't started it. Oh and I have no idea what to dress Terresa as at all.

Faith and life

Posted in Life

I just bought the girls religion courses, 3 of them, Katelyn and Breanna got their own, and I got one for Morgann Danelle to share and I am in a religion crisis myself. I am wavering between Roman Catholic, what I was raised and keep going back to, and Orthodox Catholic. There is so little difference on the outside, and I can't go to services till I go home next week, there is no Orthodox close to me right now. I am buying a book that is written for Roman Catholics about Orthodox too see what it has. I have learned so much of about the religion since teaching the girls, and while it has helped my relationship with the church and God, I still have this thing in my head about the Orthodox Church. The little thing in my head is what has always brought me back to the church, so it is hard to listen when it is a different church and it is very hard not to listen too it at the same time. Hubby is little help, he will look into either, he was raised Lutheran and has already started looking into converting and goes to Mass with me. He says he will learn about Orthodox catholic if that is what I want.

Going home

Posted in Life

The girls and I are going to my mom and dad's house for a few weeks, next week. I can't wait. I miss my family so much right now. Plus it will be the last time in a long time we see them, some it will be 2 years till we see them again. We will be in Korea by Thanksgiving. It has been such a long time since we started the process, that it hardly seems real to me, and till I am holding plane tickets for me and the girls in my hands it might not sink all the way in either. My mom is flying up next week, course the girls think she is coming the day after she is coming so they will be SO surprised when we get her a day early.

My Favorite Web Site

http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/index.htm
From her site:
The focus here is on low-cost, home-cooking from scratch.  The recipes are all tested in a real kitchen with hungry children, stalking cats, begging puppies and a playful husband underfoot.  The ingredients are affordable and readily available in most areas.

She has so many great tips, recipes and links too.

Morgann's Party

Posted in Life

Well Morgann is 2; I can't believe my little baby is 2 already though. Going against what we talked about and planned for the last few months, we will do a party here now, this weekend, and then something again with Daddy when we move. Which should prove interesting, since for about 3 months we have talked about Daddy being there for her birthday party, but hey she is only 2 so she will understand having two parties, or at lest not care/notice right.

The weather was so yucky we did nothing today. Tomorrow we have to go shopping, send the papers to the school district for the school year. Also I have to get the tags for the van. Hopefully the weather is better then today, the weather people say it will be nicer, but we all know how much I trust them.

The weekend is almost here

Posted in Life

The oldest two stayed with their grandmother last night. They had a blast, their cousin came over this morning, they love having a new cousin and helping with her.
It was a nice day with the toddlers and baby. We cleaned a little, but we played a lot and danced a good bit. They love music it was a lot of fun and very relaxing. Course it left a mess for me to clean up after bedtime. Danelle has memorized the ABC song; she is trying to tech Morgann it.
Tomorrow is normally a day off of school, but I think in the morning I will work with the girls some. We are going shopping after lunch. Getting some winter tights and shirts for the girls.
