Trimming the Tree

I really can't believe that it is already time to decorate for Christmas!  We got our tree yesterday and bribed the boys into doing many things before we actually decorated it.  After the experiences we had at the tree store I think we will be chopping one down in the woods behind our house next year.

Joseph's 9th Birthday Party!

I cannot believe my first-born will be 9 in a couple days.  Today we had 10 boys in our house and it was crazy!  Happy Birthday Jo Jo!

I'm Back!

There are many reasons why I haven't blogged for 5 months and honestly the main reason is something that shouldn't even be an issue.  We got a new computer months ago and I am still not comfortable with the format for posting pictures and every time I sit down to post I stop because I'm not sure how to get the pictures up and don't want to take a lot of time to figure it out.
That, and the fact that we moved, lived in an apartment for the summer, moved into our house, started school after homeschooling for a couple years are just some of the reasons why I haven't posted in a really long time.
We love our new house and neighborhood.  The only drawback is that it is not super-close to school and church.  I am a little jealous of those moms who can walk to school with their kids!
We are so happy in our new city and already feel at home.  God has truly blessed us!
