The Perils of Parenting and Other Ponderings

Gifts and A Day "OFF"?

Remember the roses Russ sent "from Sarah"? Here is a photo...

He said he ordered 12 white roses, but the florist didn't have enough and substitued 6 red.

Here is my birthday gift from my dad:

Here is something really fun... the boys Monday afternoon off from book work and helped their dad do a brake job on the truck!

.... no more photos after this!

Kaitlyn was taking these photos at my request and at this point, my dear hubby yelled, "Get out of here you stinkin' paparazzi!!!!" LOL! :)

Many blessings,

I always remember helping my dad with the car...I loved it :)
It is always an awesome learning experience.
You could call it "Shop" and grade them on what they learned.

My name is Christina. I am 40 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 19 years! (It will be 20 in March 2010!) My username is quietcajun, but I am neither quiet, nor cajun! The nickname is based on my children's initials! The first four children are: Kaitlyn (17), Jordan (15 ), Ian (13.5), and Noah (11)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (9) is my youngest (so far). Put S and H together and you get SH as in SHHHH... QUIET. Get it? Thus, quietcajun! We are in our 13th year of homeschooling. We have tried public school, but we soon realized how important it is that they be HOME at all costs. Now we are back to having them all home again! It's not always easy, but it is for the BEST! Two of our children have Asperger's Syndrome. That is an adventure in itself. We are still learning! This blog is a place for me to sort out the daily joys and challenges of life as a mother and wife as I strive to love and know God more and bring GLORY to HIM in EVERY part of my LIFE!!!!
