Aug. 2, 2008 - Schedule??

Posted by hugabunchmom

Ah, THAT's my problem, I haven't stayed on a schedule! :-D Wow, I don't even know where the summer has gone, with Jessi's book getting published, 2G16s mission trip, growing boys and juggling school work all summer just because, I can hardly believe it is August already! Looks like things are great at your house. The ants...wow, poor little guy. I love your lists, I needed some motivation to get going on mine again. Hugs!

yup, I have always loved new school books, new supplies, and anything else that you had to get for school! The kids get excited but I don't think as excited as I do. It is always the smells that bring back good memories. : )

Thanks for reading ; )

Sounds like your aphgans are doing well also. : )

I am not sure what Mama is planning for this year. It is going to be weird to not really do school this year since I graduated!

You have some really good plans this year.

Love,

Yes, Callie will be TWO soon, and it is hard to believe. Although, she has been two in spirit for quite some time!! ;-)

Thank you for letting me know you stopped by and for praying for my family.

May the Lord bless you and yours,

Posted by mom2many

Hi there! I'm not sure how I stumbled onto your blog ... maybe from Clothesline Alley?? Anyway, I just wanted to let you know I was here. :o) I also LOVE to crochet!! I'll be praying for you. And I'll be back. I added you to GoogleReader. :o) Okay, I'm quite done rambling now. LOL!

Oh, almost forgot ... what are vacation stations?

My name is Christina. I am 38 years old and have been happily married to my best friend, Russ for over 18 years! 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 (16), Jordan (14 next month), Ian (12.5), and Noah (10 next month)... put their first intials together and you get KJIN (cajun). Sarah Hope is one of our babies in Heaven and Hannah (8 in September) 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 12th 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!!!!
