We're back online, using blogging for daily journaling of homeschool life and sharing  other tidbits for our friends and family

For those who knew me as "DickinsonFamily"  we're back online...We named this blog "Poverty Knoll" because of some family history...We bought some land from DH's family ...our children are actually the fifth generation to live on this land...that amazes me and I am thankful for the heritage! DH great grandpa called it "Poverty Knoll" there's humor somewhere in there being poor farmers....and my DH suggested we use it for our homeschooling name so it's plain and simple like my computer knowledge of blogging! 

We finally moved into our new home about 2 weeks before the birth of our 5th child...you can imagine the chaos and frustration of being very pregnant and bedrest and not being able to do all the fun organizing and moving!

We were blessed with a precious boy on April 17th ...that makes him  8 weeks old already!  wow!

We've been through some high waters with newborn's health and mine; I am still not 100% on my health and energy levels...maybe they won't return to pre pregnancy ...recovering from sicknesses I developed after C sectionwhich kept me in the hospital for three weeks...  Tomorrow our new baby has to get hopefully his last blood draw...if it's low again...he will get another IV of epotin (any nurses ...help me out on the spelling!)
