Well I was going to show a photo of what I am making for Merideth. Her Christmas dress should be a work of art, if I finish it! So far I have smocked on the wrong side of the collar...gotten way to worked up about "packing pleats" and have changed my mind about the design about 349 million times! I am making her a "float dress" with a smocked collar overlay. The collar is scalloped in holly berries and will be a geometric pattern with her initial. Pray I finish it!

School went really well today. Dale did great on all his work. He is doing better about listening and sitting while we "talk" about his lesson. I really am enjoying the blessing of being able to home educate our children...

Gotta smock...E

I LOVE Pumpkins! My family grew them for a while and I learned a lot in the pumpkin' patch. I really miss growing them and all...I don't miss the rotten ones, or the ones I left in my trunk!

This weekend is the 12 year anniversary of mine and Stephen's first "date". WOW! We are going camping with the kids and some friends. We are also sailing...pray I am nice...I DO NOT like to sail! I really don't like it at all. Pray I am nice, I think I mentioned that one! Pray we are safe, and that I am nice! I am looking forward to the smores!

I am evaluating the home school stuff we are using. I need to spend more time in the day doing school rather than "planning" school! I was talking to my two best friends, who also home school, and it is funny the weaknesses we each have are so different. And majorly different than what we thought we would have. I do so enjoy it and as we face a new place to live it gives me much comfort to know that school is one area we won't have to worry about. It will be nice to go anywhere, literally, and be able to take school with us! That is one of the blessings in it! There are many more. Tomorrow my goal is to start with Bible, then have a good breakfast, then do the reading parts and some math. Then later in the day, before I start supper read some from "History for Little Pilgrims". I really am learning a lot from the book too. Mainly we just need to be more consistent. I think it will help hearts and minds around here!!

Well I better run...

So thank you to C for giving my blog a new look!

We have a lot going on here. Some whoa where did that come from stuff. Like a move. We were thinking we may be moving, were then told, no not for a while...now we are moving. To where we are not sure...we do know that the Lord has gone ahead of us...has chosen the path, and place. We just have to trust. I do know we have some crazy places we may move, as in places we never imagined this family living. Some great for many reasons and then not great for many reasons too. So please pray for us as we wait...wait for the Lord, wait for the Air Force and Pray that we will feel and find peace. And thank you to you know who for listening and listening....oh and calling and listening....Well we will update you when we know...maybe more in the mean time but for now...we wait...

Love, E
