Check Out Our NEW Nature Blog, "FOR THE BEAUTY"
Come on in & make yourself at home as you catch up with the happenings of our little family. I'm Karla, the "scribe" for our family, and am better known as "Momma" to our two blessings, "Honey" to my hubby, and "the maid who provides for our every need" to our 2 kittens. I hope you will call me "friend."
We are a homeschooling family that has our mix of funnies and failures, along with triumphs & successes. I am a recovering perfectionist, who is ever so grateful that I serve a perfect Savior. He teaches me that I have a lot to learn, but also that He has brought me a long way.
I have been the bride to the most gracious, sweetest man in the world for the last 11 years. What I love most about him is that he is always striving to be a better husband, father, and child of God.
I am also the blessed mama to
OUR TWO GIFTS:
a creative 9-yo Darling Daughter who loves pink, being a little lady, having tea, reading, being creative, and riding horses
and a 5-yo tremendously adventurous Little Man-in-training who loves helicopters, bugs, dirt, running, and the sport of eating.
(If you are wondering about the curlers, go down to the Sweet Monday section of the sidebar. It's a women's ministry that was started in Richmond, Va, and when we moved from there, I decided to start one down here. While Im not doing it this year, please feel free to glean away from my entries of all the past programs & devotions.
Please let me know any of them have blessed you, and if you would like permission to use anything I've written. Thank you!)

"The bringing up, as of a child, instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties." ~Noah Webster~

S&T Fri -- Brief Synopsis of Past Few Weeks
Sorry for the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. We've been a bit busy and there's been a nagging stressful thing that has been on my mind. But on a sweeter, happier side, here are some things we've been up...
Picked out our Christmas Tree
Went on field trip to a Railroad Museum with our county co-op group
Birds invaded our yard.
 I had a flashback to 2 things the morning I took this picture. One was the movie "Birds" and the second was growing up on my parents farm. Every fall & spring, black birds would rest in our large cottonwood tree and others during their migratory trek. As I called the kids over to see all of the birds that decended in our back yard, I told them of how they used to do the same thing (but in larger numbers) at Grandma & Grandpa's

No apologies needed in blogland! We all know you have more interesting things going on than blogging. (Hee, hee) I love the tree you picked out.

Thank you for sharing. I love the picture of the fall leaves. This is very rare in Florida.

| I love the tree pics. We've never had a live tree, but I think it would be a fun experience for my boys. |

Dec. 7, 2007 - Merry Christmas! |

Your daughter appears to be having a prickly hug with your new tree. It looks great! Your photo with curlers made me laugh. I remember my dear Mom using those. Nice memories for sure!
Your backyard fall colors look so nice. My Dad always said that was something he missed seeing here in Washington State. He was from Upstate New York.
I see your daughter likes horses or reading about them and you have discovered Suzy Scribbles. Yee haw! I'm just reading her second book and enjoying them. I'm sure our horse loving daughter will be reading them too but she's finishing up another horse book right now.
I've done a good bit of Christmas shopping (clothes for the family). Everyone's blog is an inspiration to do more with the decorations which haven't really begun here.
Thanks for posting on Show N Tell, I see you too mentioned kindergarten Show N Tell as well. It brought that back to my mind also and I dreaded it, this is more fun.
Christmas joys and blessings!

"Watch for the storms of God.
The only way God plants His saints is through the whirlwind of His storms.
Will you be proven to be an empty pod with no seed inside?
That will depend on whether or not you are actually living in the light of the vision you have seen.
Let God send you out through His storm, and dont go until He does.
If you select your own spot to be planted, you will prove yourself to be an unproductive, empty pod.
However, if you allow God to plant you, you will "bear much fruit" (John 15:8)." ------------ My Utmost for His Highest, March 11th
