Multitudes (with a dose of bad fashion)

“I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.” Woody Allen

1213 – Kathryn really enjoys her homeschool enrichment classes.

1214 – Finally getting a much-overdue eye exam, and already having improvement in a weird eyelid rash I’ve had for months!

1215 – Exciting news that my youngest niece is expecting!

1216 – Being listed on a “Top 100 Homeschool Blogs” list.

1217 – We are now re-certified for CPR/first aid, and completed five of the required yearly training hours to maintain our status as approved for foster/adoption.

1218 – Letting my artsy side out a little by doing an art project with my daughter, instead of just observing and instructing. (Our chickadee pastel project.)

1219 – Fun — and funny — memories from old photos my mom dug up.

1220 – I now have better fashion sense than I did in high school.

1221 –  More boudoir sessions last week with beautiful (inside and out) Christian wives.

1222 – Families who are committed to raising their children to know and love the Lord. (Baby dedication at church this week!)

1223 – Ken and Lindsey began training to go on the high school mission trip to the Dominican Republic in April. (This will be the second year, and Ken will again be a group leader.)

1224 – Financial blessing that allowed us to pay for mission trip deposits, eye exams and glasses for both me and Lindsey, and the CPR class.

1225 – Spending an afternoon re-living memories with my mom, my aunt, and a cousin while cleaning things out at my grandmother’s house.

So many blessings to be thankful for!
Loved the photos from high school! You are not alone…we all looked like that:)
What were we thinking?!
I need to get out my highschool photos to show my girls…I’m sure they’ll laugh!

I think you look a bit like Lindsey in that right hand pic. Funny, huh?

LOL …… I’m guessing you are in that eighties generation! I was having babies in that generation! So many treasured moments in your list of blessings. Enjoy your time homeschooling for it will fly by quickly!

Love those pictures! Especially the red pants 🙂

It’s great that you did an art project with your daughter. I’m trying to do that more often. It’s fun.

So many wonderful blessings! I love the pictures: I was a bit on the younger end of the 80s child spectrum, but definitely remember outfits like those!

Hello everyone! I agree that we have to be thankful from the moment we wake up each day…Life is beautiful!

I forgot about tucking pants into socks. Yes! And, girl! You could do the big hair! WTG!
