Hey! I haven't been on homeschoolblogger.com for a long time. I mean I check it, but I don't login. So what have you been up to. I have been doing school and helping mom and dad. School is going good. Mom is doing good. She is getting big (if I didn't tell you, mom is going to have a baby). Me, dad, Britta, and Zarah have felt the baby. We all have seen him from the outside. And yes, the baby is a boy. Mom and dad have decided on a name. But, we are not going to tell. well, I had better go. Buh-bye for now.

                                           Your friend,
                                                         Megan E H

I LOVE FALL!!

Okay, so I was watching a football game yesterday and I got this “I want something cold and kind of Chocolaty” feeling! :) So I went in the kitchen and found a recipe for this:

(it comes from hillbillyhousewife.com!)



It was scrumptiously delicious! Here is how you make it!

  • 1-1/2 to 2 cups ice water
  • 1-1/2 cups nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 to 1-1/2 trays of ice cubes, as much as you can spare
  • 2 tablespoons corn oil plus a 5-second squirt of non-stick spray for emulsification purposes

Place all of the ingredients into the blender, including the oil and the non-stick spray. Use less water for thicker milk shakes and more water for shakes that are easy on your blender motor. The blender should be about 3/4’s full. Place the lid on. Process for a full 2 minutes. Pour into cups and serve. Makes 4 - 12oz servings. It is really good!!

Ah...I absolutely love fall! This weather is SO wonderful!! I just LOVE it! It feels so good here with the window open! Who else loves fall? :) Here is a picture I took last fall! :) It isn't a very good picture...I just love the color of the leaves! :)


Okay, so I changed my template AGAIN. I kind of like this one better than the other one. :) Sorry to keep changing. I'll try not to keep on doing that. :]

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!!

Oh and, please go click on the button on my sidebar for iheartministry's blog! That is an amazing blog that 3 of my friends here on HSB share! You should definitely go check it out!!

It is truly amazing...

It is truly amazing to me that the Lord of Heaven and Earth could love a sinner like me.

It is truly amazing to me that I could be a child of the King.

It is truly amazing to me that the King of Kings could see fit to allow me to have such a wonderful family.

It is truly amazing to me how much I have learned from being a wife and mother....things I thought I already knew.

It is truly amazing to me to see my children learn.

It is truly amazing to me to watch my children grow.

It is truly amazing to me to observe traits and characteristics in my children that I have.  Music, art, and such are things that I loved growing up, and now some of my children do, too.  And for my very simple mind, it is truly amazing.

I am thankful to be amazed, and look forward to more of the Lord's wondrous amazing grace and mercy that He so abundantly bestows upon His people.

Thank you, Lord, for amazing me anew each day!

“From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised!” (Psalm 113:3)


I'm sorry about not posting. I have been too busy. If I haven't responded to a comment you posted, please tell me. I kind of lost track of who's I responded to. Sorry about that.
 
Sorry to be so short, but, my room is really messy right now. So, I'm off to clean it! :)
Have a great day everyone!!

Another surgery in our family...

Posted by Youngwife
5:17 PM, Tuesday, August 18, 2009 .. 0 comments .. Link
I apologize for the lack of posting, again.

And, I am not sure if anyone even reads this blog anymore.  But, I wanted to take a minute to update the site, so that if someone does by chance read this, they will get current info.

As of now, Rachael will be having a Tethered Cord Surgery next week.  It will be to release the spinal cord that is tethered to her spine.  We pray that she will be able to go home within a couple of days.  However,  the hospital where she is having the surgery is four hours away from home.  So, I am sure how the ride home will go.

www.caringbridge.org/visit/rachaelyoung

This is the caring bridge page that I use to update about our families medical issues.  It is a quite a challenge to be a larger-than-most family and to have several within your family dealing with medical issues.  It has been because of this that we have had to make major changes in our lives.

We no longer can go to church camp as a family.  This past year, a few of the kids got to go with family for various lengths of time.  It was hard to not be able to see my good friends from around the country that gather each year at camp.

We no longer can take vacations.  Our trips are for doctor visits only.

We no longer are able to make it to church each and every Sunday.  Thankfully, we have SermonAudio to listen to when we are home bound.

We no longer get to go to things like singing schools like we used to be able to. 

We no longer have a strong focus on academic things.  It has had to go on the back burner for now.  I know that there will be a time and place for that.  Right now, we are just surviving from day to day.

We no longer have the degree of structure in our home that we once did.  When you have children living in pain, they often also have insomnia.  And that can lead to late nights/early mornings for mom.  So, a routine has been strange to us for quite some time.

We no longer live tantrum free.  Since my time and attentions have been elsewhere, we have a two year old that fits the classic "terrible two's" mold.  She is a pistol!!  I know that we have lots more time, though, to work on her, thank the Lord.

We no longer own our home.  Because of the strain on our finances, we have lost our home.  Now we have to rent a home that has no stairs and will allow for pets.  We got Rachael a dog to help her cope with her pain.  And finding a place to rent that allows pets is quite a challenge.

We now have weekly (some times daily) doctor appointments.  I must use a planner for appointments now instead of lesson plans.  I joke that sometimes I feel like a professional appointment keeper.

We no longer can always go out as a family.  There are many times that Rachael or Hannah do not feel well enough to go places with us.

We no longer can plan a garden.  Like I said, when you live in survival mode, it's just all you can get done.

So I miss being a homeschooling family.  Now we are a family dealing with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, surgeries, ER visits, DR visits, and medications.  We miss being the family we used to be.  I miss having the physically abled daughters that I used to have.  While I am extremely thankful that they are here with me, and that their conditions are not life threatening, if treated.  I do mourn for the lives they may never lead that they once dreamed of.

I don't mean to harp on just the negatives.  We have so many blessings, and things to rejoice in.  God is so very good.  And HE is always faithful!

Please pray for us.  We need your prayers, and the Lord's help to wade through this deep ocean of trials.

May the Lord bless you all!

Rebecca
