Yesterday as I watched the little ones wrapped up in a blanket quietly reading together, I was reminded again of how very blessed I am to be living (and schooling!) at home with such a family. I saw the look of intense wonder on my baby brother's face as he studied the simple pictures in the book that was lovingly being read to him. He is growing; each day a tiny part of "babyness" is left behind and a new person with his own unique character is being formed! As I watched, I realized how much I desperately want to experience every moment to the fullest... to grab hold of every opportunity for sharing in the growth and learning, peace and rest, joy and laughter of this home.

p.s. Is this homeschooling thing really worth all the time and trouble? ...... Yes, oh yes... most definitely!

I totally agree with your thought:
"As I watched, I realized how much I desperately want to experience every moment to the fullest... to grab hold of every opportunity for sharing in the growth and learning, peace and rest, joy and laughter of this home."
I realized the same thing about a month ago.
He has grown so much the year I have been gone at Mizzou. Can't wait to see him.
I totally agree with brandon, ashley. I think you and I are suddenly really starting to realize how fast time seems to be slipping away. I'm trying now to live everyday to it's fullest. :D
I love you sister! :D God bless you!
I love the photos Ashley. . . I wish you lived closer so that we could see all those kiddos more often! But you are so right. . . I too have recently been making the effort to enjoy my "kidom-ness" while it lasts. It is such a good reminder that we ought to live each day fully, to His glory.

Don't credit me, as the arrangement isn't the greatest- credit God.
Although, yes, I have put a lot of work into it (the weeds are constently trying to take over :).
P.S. I'm also posting these comments on my blog; I'm putting them here so that you know I've responded.
