2008 in Review

2008 has come and gone already.  It sure seemed to go by quickly…sometimes a little too quickly!
January
The year started out with me beginning to work on Power Lab VBS (Ah Ha!).  I was also homeschooling Michael.  We were pretty on top of our schooling and things were going pretty smoothly at the time.  I was [...]

Happy Birthday!!

Today is my wonderful hubby’s birthday!  He’s 38…
Happy Birthday Kevin!!  I love you!

What does a child spend $20 on?

For Noah’s birthday, he got $20 in cash from his Grandma and Grandpa.  Usually when our children get money, we take it so that it gets spent wisely…you know on toys that we approve of or just a small amount of candy, not something that would rot his teeth completely out.

So, 11 years ago today…

My sister had her daughter 7 months [...]
