Where to even begin…. Fifteen plus years ago when Brian and I got married? That’s probably a good place to start. {wink} The truth is, I remember having conversations with Brian when I was pregnant with Elliott about what “school” should look like for him. But soon, those discussions revolved around questions like, “What should… Continue reading 24-25 First Day of School…For ALL of us!

Last Day of School 2023-24
Yes, we did finish the school year last year. No, I have not caught up with life enough yet to document it. But I’d better get it in before we start school again in September!! We had a very bittersweet end of our school year because it marked the end of an era with our… Continue reading Last Day of School 2023-24
Elliott the Teenager
Are you more shocked that Elliott is 13 or that it’s taken me this many months to post about it? Elliott had another epic birthday, but epic in a way that none of us were expecting! We scheduled his fourth annual capture the flag birthday party for a Saturday in March. I have said it… Continue reading Elliott the Teenager
First Day of School 2023-24
It feels a bit like a tornado blew in in May and has swept our little family from one month to another so quickly that I truly cannot keep up. There were delightful things that happened during the summer…like Elliott getting to work hard with his daddy helping his grandparents. He got to do “real”… Continue reading First Day of School 2023-24
2023 Last Days of School
You guys. We start school in two days and I haven’t even posted about their last day from last year. You are probably wondering if my kids actually passed their last grades. The kids had their last day at their “out school,” we did two days of exams and then had their End of Year… Continue reading 2023 Last Days of School
Elliott Epically Turns 12
Well, my friends, we officially have a pre-teen for the first time ever. What a marvel to watch these little people on their journey towards adulthood, growing more in the grace of God and the image of Christ with each passing year! As I’ve mentioned in the past, Elliott has declared that the only thing… Continue reading Elliott Epically Turns 12
First Day of School 2022
Well, we are kicking off our last year of both kids being able to be at our sweet little classical Christian school together. When we first started this school, we bumped the kids up a grade (I’ll save the long story of why for another time). So Elliott was technically in 6th grade during the… Continue reading First Day of School 2022
2022 Last day of school
We did it! Another school year planting seeds and building up these kids of ours in the Word of God and His truth. We studied modern American history this year and boy, oh boy, did we study some HEAVY topics–obviously. But what a gift to get to work through these wars and hard events in… Continue reading 2022 Last day of school
Elliott Turns 11 and Our Blog Becomes Extinct
It seems fitting that our blog would take its place among the dinosaurs the same year Elliott turned 11. If you’ll remember, we started this little bloggy blog when we were pregnant with Elliott, so just over 11 years ago. And 11 years in computer age is like ELEVEN HUNDRED years in human years. So,… Continue reading Elliott Turns 11 and Our Blog Becomes Extinct

We are having a lovely snow day today. Very, very thankful for the moisture God is providing for us! In fact, our little lake is even slowly beginning to fill back up! Three cheers for snow!! It started off as an ordinary snow day…the kids made waffles and then went outside to make maple syrup… Continue reading 2:22 on 2/2/22
