Confessions of a Homeschooler

As many of you know by now, we have decided to homeschool Anna Grace. I am very excited, yet nervous, but know that this is what we are supposed to do. We have prayed long and hard and had MANY confirmations that we are doing the right thing.

Of course, I have searched for information on homeschooling and found this WONDERFUL BLOG www.confessionsofahomeschooler.blogspot.com. She is awesome.....so glad that I found her!! I found her blog about 9 months ago and thought I made it a favorite,but did not...so I was really upset....and had to research and find it...took me months to find it....AND was not in my history....ughhhh...but I did and so glad.
AsI read her posts, etc. we are so alike in our style of teaching, etc. so...I will be referring often.

Almost weekly, she does a giveaway. This week she is giving away her very own curriculum....RoadTrip USA: A Journey Across the United States....I am really hoping I win this....I would be so excited....if not we will be ordering for K5!! Anyway, check her out and you will not be disappointed...she has sooo many cool things....printouts, etc...

Christmas Cards....

I hope that everyone is having a great Christmas season so far!! Ever since Jason and I got married we have sent out Christmas cards. Of course, we only had 1 Christmas without a baby...so the next Christmas we decided that sending a card with a picture was the way to go. We decided this because I love to get photo cards to display myself. It is one of the many highlights of the season for me. We have typically gone to a local store and printed our cards, but this year we have decided to use Shutterfly. This is due to their great designs and quality products. Over the past year, I have ordered several things from them for gifts. Things such as calendars, cards with pictures that were sent directly to the recipient along with photo books. I must say, I am very much impressed with the quality of their products. Currently, I am trying to make a decision about which card we will use. It will either be the Elegant Cross or In His Name Christmas card. Once I decide on the exact picture, I will know which card it will look best on.

The New Addition to Our Family

Ok....I have not blogged in forever but I am affraid that if I do not get pictures up of NG some people will disown me....I know I know...sorry!!!
NG was born January 11th...he weighed 9 lbs. 5 oz. and was 20 5/8 inches long. I knew I was in much pain for some reason...I had the feeling he was a big baby but I never dreamed that big....
Life with 2 is definitely different..but we love it..He fits right into our crazy world....our family would be so lost without him! I am just completely drained from no sleep...and hoping he will fall in line with ag and sleep through the night soon!!! I can hope right?!?
Anyway...here are the promised photos...
The one with Jason reading....love it...Noah loves story/devotion time each night...so glad...he better get used to it!! Ag is such a good big sister...we have had some challenges but over all...she loves it and would not know what to do without him!! The ones of me and J are when we were getting ready to leave the hospital...we thought we would never leave...we left on Thursday and had not seen AG since Monday morning since she got the worse stomach virus ever and too sick to visit...they would not even let Mom and Dad since she was staying with them!! It was hard...we were ready to see her!! The one of me in the hospital gown...don't worry that was right out of recovery...I had my makeup bag and bobby pins ready after that crazy hat thing I had to wear...I was putting on a little make up and throwing up all at once...Mom now laughs at me being so crazy about my makeup and throwing up...but after AG...whew I looked rough!!!! I was hoping to look like I had a little life in me this time!!! LOL
