Carried on the Wind

Mar. 20, 2008 - Moving

Come visit me at carriedonthewind.blogspot.com!

For over two years now I've been keeping up with two blogs. In an effort to simplify things a bit, I've decided to maintain only one, especially as the content is virtually the same. While I love the Homeschoolblogger community- you're the best- the site itself is unfortunately not as user friendly as it could be. So I've decided to stick with my blogspot blog, and hope that you'll come and visit me there. I have several recent posts that haven't made it onto this blog, and lots of pictures, including some of my nearly full-term baby belly! Our little guy is due next week, so come on over soon to help us welcome him. I appreciate your prayers during this time as well.
I'll still be around, visiting friends here on HSBlogger, and hope you'll come by for a visit as well.
Many blessings to all!
Rebeca

I also wanted to say thanks once again to my friend Ali, who made this beautiful template for me! She's got lots more in progress, so go and see what she's got going on!

Mar. 20, 2008 - Rosetta Stone Contest

This contest is too good not to enter!

Rosetta Stone has been the #1 foreign language curriculum among homeschoolers for a while -- next week they are unleashing a brand new curriculum, and you can WIN the *all new* Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3… FOR FREE! This is a $219 program (and believe me it's worth every penny!) and the winner gets to pick from any of these 14 languages: Spanish (Spain or Latin America), English (American or British), Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Irish, Hebrew, or Russian. This will also include a headset with microphone, and students will participate in lifelike conversations and actually produce language to advance through the program. Rosetta Stone still incorporates listening, reading and writing as well, in addition to speaking. Many homeschoolers requested grammar and vocabulary exercises, and with Rosetta Stone Homeschool Version 3, they're included! For parents, the new Parent Administrative Tools are integrated into the program and allow parents to easily enroll students in any of 12 predetermined lesson plans, monitor student progress, and view and print reports.

To win this most excellent program -- in the language of your choice -- copy these (blue) paragraphs and post it in (or as) your next blog post -- then to enter the contest, go to the original contest page HERE: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/JenIG/501132/ and leave a comment with the link showing where you blogged about it. And please make sure the link works to get back to the original contest page when you post it. And good luck! The winner will be picked randomly on March 26, and will be notified thru the link they left to their blog pg. And if you have more than one blog, you can post them and enter those separately for more chances to win. Yay for free stuff!

Feb. 11, 2008 - Overheard

I've wondered how our children, especially Peregrine, have been effected by losing two tiny siblings through miscarriage. We gave names to those babies and keep their memories alive by talking of them being in heaven, but it's hard to know how much our kids grasp the reality of that. A few nights ago I asked Peregrine to pray for someone who lives in our home, and this was what he prayed: "Dear Jesus, please don't let our baby go to heaven. Please help him to live a long time, until he's old, and then when he dies please help him to go to heaven then. Amen." Last night he prayed a similar thing, and it's made me realize how losing these babies is a very real part of his experience. He dearly loves this little baby brother of his and is so excited for him to be born. I think his prayer is precious, but I also don't want him to live in fear.

On a lighter note, Poppy is really enjoying playing with dolls and being a "little mama" to them. Sometimes she pretends that she too has a baby in her tummy. The other night I was asking her about her baby, who was, of course, a girl. I asked what her name was and she answered "Dot!" I don't think she's ever heard the name Dot, but it was explained when she followed that with "Because she's my Daughter!" Then today we took a walk and she got out of the stroller for a while, stopping sometimes to tend to her imaginary babies. As we walked together she said contentedly to me "We're both mommies!" I love seeing how nurturing she is, and am interested how she'll be with the new baby.

Feb. 6, 2008 - You are Being Redirected

I've been a stranger to my own blog lately, but with good reason. I've finally put an update and some snowy pictures on my other blog. Due to technical difficulties (AKA computer illiteracy due to a change made to our photo program) I can't upload pictures to HSBlogger right now. So, come on y'all, and visit me over at Blogger! In addition to snow and hot cocoa, you'll also get a peek at the day that Spring visited our house and see how many days until our baby is due!
