Maplewood Cottage Home-Lessons

• Mar. 21, 2008 - Prayer Request

My husband and I are spending the next week doing prep work for our homeschool and getting a vision for the new season and goals we have had.

I want to add a praise - my dh has been so supportive of being a part of the homeschool... he gets great ideas and gives me help and direction when I am a overwhelmed or unsure about something.

Also we will be taking the school aged boys to the library 24-28 to the China workshop offered. They are real excited. Luke especially has had interest in China since he was small.

The girls will start a preschool reading hour program in April. This works out well as Mike then has time with the boys that day each week and the girls get to learn to behave in public
The lady that will be the story hour lady is a Christian from New Zealand so I am excited to get to know her.

Also we are trying to get clothing worked out for the new season. I am a bit frustrated because i have worked so hard to keep the girls fairly modest but they have grown out of much of their clothing and in a sense we have to start over again! Ugh... and I never seem to get organized enough to do the sewing I say I want to do.

On a brighter note Mike found shoes on sale ( deep clearance for Luke ) and boy did he need them!

We hope to find a bit more on clearance this week during a few shopping trips.

Everyone is growing so fast!!

Oh praise be for the ideas I have been getting to help the girls set up a little corner to play 'housekeeping' and 'mommy'. We also found some dolls for the doll house that we have had.

Everything works out in His time.

I think I can safely announce our new pregnancy.
Thing are going well at about 7 weeks.

I have had a lot of direction from the Lord about details for support. Including being given contact with a couple that practice chiropractic locally that home birth!

We are very optimistic!

Praise God.
