Fully Dressed

February 15, 2013February 3, 2019 | Stacy

When I was six, or eight, or ten, I could not name the elements to the Full Armor of God. Truth be told, I didn’t know them until about age 33. Sometimes I am so envious of my kids. My prayer is that while it is just being absorbed now, that later on it will be valued by them.

We did this activity once before almost five years ago.As a matter of fact, it was included in my first blog post.

I suspect I will have the opportunity to supervise the same project at least one more time, in another 5 or so years, with Johanna and Ducky. Stewart will be 17 then.

I am so blessed.

Happy Valentine's Day

February 14, 2013 | Stacy

Cinnamon rolls, store-bought yogurt, orange juice.
A red tablecloth, heart plates, heart napkins.
A few treats for later.

It’s a before-school party. With a lot of sugar.

Scenes from a homeschool

February 7, 2013 | Stacy

The day after the Super Bowl I decided to take my camera around the house to record a little of what it looks like during a “typical” day.

Except the first photos isn’t typical… that is just what it looks like when Daddy let’s you stay up until midnight!!

Shorts in February? Oh yes, that is typical…
A Pepsi before 10 AM. Um, YES!

Cushions off the couch to make thrones, beds, horses, or castles? Very typical!

Chairs blocking your sisters from the place where you are working. A little less typical, but not unheard of.

Wearing a hat to do your work. Exceedingly normal.

2-year-old antics. Most definitely!

Party-time [again]

July 19, 2011 | Stacy

It wouldn’t be summer for these Disciples if we didn’t have parties. Lots of them.

On July 9th we celebrated Beau’s 11th, Champ’s 9th, and Skeezix’s 7th. We were blessed with a gorgeous day to share with our awesome family, and friends-who-might-as-well-be-family!

Just because it wasn’t her birthday didn’t mean Angel had to go without! Nope – there are always a few family members that feel badly that she is “left out.”

Champ is Nine…

July 5, 2011 | Stacy

Nine years have passed since our Champ came into the world, 7½ weeks too early.
God’s hand has been on him and we are enjoying watching him grow into a wonderful young man.

Mommy worked Saturday, so Daddy, Nan, Nene, and the kiddos went to the zoo for a while. I stopped for pizza and wings on the way home [yummmmm – my kids have GREAT taste!] and we had a quiet celebration at home.
