Let the homeschooling BEGIN!

Well, some of you are aware that Matt and I have decided to homeschool Moriah for the remainder of highschool. I just have to say that I am thrilled at how well things are going so far. Moriah has a strict schedule and adhears to it perfectly. She watches her DVD classes and even has homework. So, as far as I can tell...best decision EVER. She was able to go right into the next grade, which will likely save her a whole year of school. Matt and I have split the courses so each of us are responsible for half. That seems to work out great. He offered to do it all, which I was tempted to take him up on...but I just couldn't. The funniest part is, he is Moriah's PE coach, and a good one. But poor Moriah! Anyway, I've got a house to clean!

Our dog ran away. Sad right? But she is a German Shepherd and she's supposed to protect her family...not run away! She went out midday for a potty break and never came back! We were very sad and confused as to what had gotten into her head that would enable her to cease family protection and run off. I called the animal control to report her missing, called every animal hospital and when I got home, began working on flyers with her picture. I strapped Maddy on in her snugglie and started out. I made it to just 6 homes in our neighborhood and began to get sluggish. (a sad revelation as to what kind of shape I am in, I was-a-sweat'n) Matt came home and the search ended, to begin again in the morning. At 4 in the morning (her breakfast hour) I got up to feed Maddy and as I stumbled to the kitchen, I noticed the movement sensor light was on in the front of the house...and there on our porch was our regal dog just chilling out like she always laid there or something. I was so glad f...

To mothers...

Have you ever felt that lump in your throat, the burning of the eyes as you swallow hard and try to blink back tears...when you have heard something said that touches your heart a certain way? Last night, when Matt was praying over our meal, he said something that made me feel just that way.."God, bless and please protect all of our children, who are spread out all over..." That did it for me, it kind of hit me hard. My auto-pilot that runs me through each day, stalled at those words...and shut off. Then a twinge of pain crept over me as I thought about the reality of his words. Collectively we have three beautiful girls. One lives with her mom and one is spending time with her grandparents, so we are left with one out of three. (and that one is not that interactive, at just 10 wks:) ) And it really hurts not to have them all home, with us right now. This morning, I was reading an article that totally relates to my statement above, (linked from: http://www.choosinghome.com/bl...
look at all those chins.. 
utter sweetness. 
think she looks up to her big sister? 
look at that BABY! 
maybe she gets those cheeks from me?? 
These are the scrumptous cheeks referenced below... 
This is what I meant when I said Jeff Foxworthy will love this. IF your new baby girl is dressed in camo and you are excited about it... 
Look at that butt-ruffle! Yes, that is camo. What? 
HI!  
GAH, the sweetness... 
THIS is what tears my heart out? How could a good mother walk away from these two? HOW?
