Well, since my last entry our family has been away in Chincoteague, VA and enjoying this beautiful weather God has blessed us with!

Chincoteague was beautiful.  Although, my kids are too over-stimulated by this worls to relax in a spot like that.  It was quiet, slow, beautiful, lovely and awesome!  I am sure that it's busier in-season!  The boys learned to fish and crab....................

We also learned about the island of Assateague, it's lighthouse..............

ALL 198 steps to the top!

and it's wildlife.................

We enjoyed a day on the beach. It was beautiful! We collected seashells, walked in the sand and the boys went in the water!....................

After our adventure in VA homeschool was not so easy to get back into the swing of.  So I tried everything I could think of, like nature walks, writing outdoors and more!  Our goal is to be completed by The end of May which will be Travis' birthday.  With a little perseverence and A LOT of prayer we can do it!

Travis took this photo of me while I was chilling out in VA on the steps of our little, blue cottage.  It sums up exactly how I feel lately...J-O-Y-F-U-L!

Now, I am not saying my life is perfect, no one can say this. If they are, give them a mirror and tell them to "check" themselves!  I am saying that I am learning to live in the Father's love and trying through the strength of Jesus to accept  His daily will for my life.  We have to make the best of things! Don't we?  If not, we will end up being the miserable people satan wants us to be. We are called to be more than that. We are called to love each other, lifet each other up and do it all in the name of the Lord!

What an awesome responsibility!  It starts as moms & dads, simply!
