Always Something to Celebrate

With the exception of my youngest son, whose birthday is in August, we get to celebrate everyone's birthday during Autumn. I love any reason to celebrate...days off, holidays, early outs from school (which is up to me now!), days Scott gets to come home, birthdays....you name it. There is always always always something to be thankful for, so it has been said. Therefore, there is always always always something to celebrate!
Laura, seen here with her butterfly wings, had her 2nd birthday earlier this month. Two weeks prior, my oldest became a teenager. I reached 33 this year on 11/11/11. That was fun. Scott had his day in September. Each year we get older we have more to celebrate.
Homeschooling is still proving to be fun for all. We are all learning so much about each other with our extra time together. There has been some fun projects going most weeks. Joel built a ship like one Columbus would like, Eric has been busy creating movies that correspond to science and history. From Creation vs Evolution, to Reincarnation-eyes are being opened to the world around us all.
Our schedule seems to keep busy, and the days and weeks are quickly passing. Joel, seen skateboarding here, practices as often as Mom allows. Theres lots of fun and laughter to keep us going. Toddlers to teens, all at the same time! It's quite a fun mix at our house.
October and November taught us many lessons:
- Don't come between a princess and her candy!
- Broken dishwashers aren't the end of the world
- Feet and frosting don't go together....well. And,
- Jesus sticks closer than a brother.
Now that's something to celebrate!
