| | I'll admit it, it's hard to give time for a real post on xanga when you can just flip through facebook and post a status quickly. But we need more than that! I'll post and comment more if you will!
I thought I'd give a little update before we leave on vacation. We leave soon for a two and a half week vacation. It won't all be play because Eric is going to work remotely for one of the weeks and we are doing at least one week of school while we are gone. But it is going to be in nice, warm, snow-free Florida. We can't wait. We'll do the Disney thing, the Kennedy thing, etc. I'm just looking forward to a break from winter and a chance to watch my kids have a ball. Not that they don't have plenty of fun even when locked up inside, as you'll see from some of my pics.
Not much new going on here. Our biggest excitement is that we are finishing our basement. This is the "hang drywall week." My poor boys hardly ever get solid naps anymore since there is constant banging and sawing going on downstairs, but they are hanging in there.
We are still loving homeschool and are 99.9% sure we will homeschool the girls again next year. We loved school and it seemed fine when we were in it. However, now that we've been out of it for a while, it seems absurd how much of our life had to be scheduled around it and how much time our kids spent there versus how much time they had with the family. We LOVE home education. We may still send Jason for some morning preschool next year, but that is to be determined.
I'll leave you with some pics from the last month and I will try to give you some updates from vacation while we're gone. Pray that we stay safe and healthy!
Nicole felt Brady behind her holding something to her head, saying, "I'm gonna fix you." She THOUGHT it was a play screwdriver until she heard a snip and pulled down a small handful of hair. Thankfully, she has such a mass of hair, you can't really tell unless you pull out the short part. Brothers!
I never posted pics of Renee's haircut. This is after a month of growth. She looks so cute with short hair.
We went with the slight stack in the back for some variety.
The kids have had several opportunities to see little miss Mercy (our youth pastor's new daughter) and they love her dearly. They are hoping her mommy goes back to work so we can babysit for them again. :)
The kids spent over an hour creating a playdough picnic one day. It took forever to clean up, but they had a blast.
I came out from showering one day and the boys had dragged a large part of their animal collection down and made an audience for themselves.
Their adoring fans.
A close-up of the performers and their microphones.
I love my family!
