School Days and Busy Days

Its been fairly busy at our house here the last while. So have not been able to post anything like I have wanted to.

We have been at school again for about 4 weeks now. Its going good, just was a little slow at first. Takes awhile to get a good routine going again. I have Clayton in first grade that requires my assistance with pretty much everything he does. Then Nathan is in fourth grade this year and he is doing nealy all of his on his own now. I just have to assit him with certain things and correct his work. I am so thankful that I get to stay home and school them rather than them going off to public school everyday, and not getting to spend the good quality time with them that I do. I am truly thankful to God for this!!

Life is busy alright! The little ones, Samuel, 4, and Sarah, 2, keep busy making noise and getting into mischief while I am busy helping their older brothers with school! Its a riot somthimes! I had considered putting them in a mothers-day-out program acuople days a week, but then for cost reasons decided against that, and I am glad I did. I truly do love to have them here with me everyday, but somtimes it does get hectic. Thats when they need a little more structure and discipline though.

Our newest blessing is due Jan. 28 ,2009. I have about 21 more weeks!! Everything is going good. I am so thankful for that! We do not find out what our little ones are ahead of time. So the birth is a great suprise! I do not even have a feeling of what this one may be. For my first 2 I just knew they were going to be boys, and they were! Then for Samuel I was so confident that he was a girl and had really got my hopes up, then at his birth I was very dissapointed!! So for Sarah I tryed not to think about it at all. Will be very happy with what ever God chooses to bless us with this time!! We are planing on a home birth again. Sarah was our first home birth, and it was such a wonderful experience! Looking forward to that agian!!

Our garden is nearly over for the summer now. Always glad when its over, though I do enjoy it! We did plant a few things for a fall garden though, spinach, swishchard, collard greens and turnips, which have yet to come up. Left from the summer garden we have orka, and peppers. I just harvested the rest of our corn yesterday, and got it put away in the freezzer today. All the children helped me, and we had lots of fun doing it. Got some great pictuers too!!

I had better not make this too long this time. I will try to post again soon.

Blessings in Chirst, Mae
