Life is moving on
I have had no time to blog lately and I seriously think about it every day! It is so hard to fit in Bible reading, homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, paying bills, planning, friends/social life, illnesses, and being a wife all into an almost daily occurance. It sounds so easy when I am typing it out..but when I am living it, it is a different story! I have days where I look at the clock and it is nearly 3 o'clock and we're just about to eat!
The first thing that kept me away from my blog was my computer got a virus. It took 2 weeks to fix. I got it back and had to get all my old programs back, along with the add-on's, fonts, book-marks, etc. That alone took me a zillion years.
Then life took us on a family vacation to Michigan! We had a blast with our family there. God placed us there during a sad but important time. While we were there my best friend's grandpa who raised her died. I am glad I was there for her but it was very sad. I have came home and have done a little work, spent time with family, church and just life.
We have also started a new and very exciting chapter in our lives, I wish I had time to go into more detail on WHY but maybe I will later. We have decided to homeschool Riley too! We came home from Michigan and pulled him right out. Crazy, I know! It wasn't anything that went wrong with the school, no financial troubles, no specific incident. We just had conviction after conviction (I'll go into more details later) and God spoke to us, we weren't sure about the timing but we got a clear answer on our trip and God told us to do it immediately without hesitation. We did. 2 weeks into it and it has been such a blessing. We all love it!
We have implemented some new (always gentle) parenting techniques and have seen some wonderful results in all of our children!
Quinn has been sick for weeks with a bugger nose. She got a fever, her first one since she was born and was sick for 4-5 days. We survived without seeing a doctor and without any antibiotics.
I, on the other hand aren't as lucky. I have mastitis and am on an antibiotic now. I am battling my 5th case of mastitis since Quinn has been born. I have been told by the weekend on call doctor that I "had" to quit breastfeeding and it is just not "normal" and I am going to get an abscess...I told her I had no plans of stopping and have already had an abscess and nursed through it.
Friday Quinn got her 3rd tooth, it was her top right. The left looks like it will pop through any day. We had Quinn's birthday party this weekend and hope to edit this with pictures. It was a small family covered dish party. She LOVED her cake and got it everywhere.
Today is Valentines Day and Kevin got Skyler a rose and teddy bear and sat it in her room while she was sleeping. I have never seen a little girl so happy and in love. Next year he's going to have to get Quinn something as well. We're spending our Valentines Day helping my parents fix a plumbing problem and going out to eat with them too. We made cup cakes for school and a candy heart color chart for math.
Tomorrow I'm starting a new Bible study with the girls from church, my dad is starting to paint my boys room, and my precious baby is turning 1. Next week we are tiling the kitchen and installing new carpet in the living room!
We have been busy.busy.busy! Life just keeps flying by! I think about recording life events every day and have all these ideas is great post swirling in my head. Maybe rather than cleaning a few mornings a week during homeschool I can sneak away to blog! Feels good to be back.
