Thoughts this Winter Oh goodness. As we leave this winter season behind us I am filled with all sorts of feelings. The last couple months have been rough. Ever since the beginning of December when we had Lydia’s big appointment with our developmental specialist, we have been going full throttle with appointments for Lydia. We …
Autumn 2020 Schoolhouse
Thoughts this Autumn Our autumn schoolhouse was felt really good but was also mixed with a lot of interruptions. We went on our family vacation to Montana {read all about it HERE}, we had Halloween and Thanksgiving holidays, and many medical and therapy appointments for our little Lydia. I have been filled with gratitude that …
Benjamin’s 4th Birthday
Benjamin has been saying he’s four since he turned three so this has been a very LONG awaited day! After I wished him a happy birthday he happily said, “I am four FOREVER!”. So, this is going to be Benji’s year! Neverland Benjamin wanted a Peter Pan party and we were happy to supply one. …
Summer 2020 Schoolhouse
Thoughts this Summer Our summer schoolhouse embraced a “school-lite” atmosphere and it was really great (for the most part). I needed a wee bit of a break. The very first week of June we received Jacob’s diagnosis and I have spent a ridiculous amount of time filling out paperwork and being on the phone working …
Benjamin Lewis
BIG EMOTIONS! If I were to describe Benji in two words it would be those = BIG EMOTIONS. This boy feels all things BIG these days, which is pretty great a lot of the time {because he is a generally pretty happy, carefree kid} but he is also embracing a bit of the “three-nager” qualities …

We are getting into my favorite time of the year with homeschooling! Things are starting to wind up with our current curriculum, we will enjoy some light schooling for a while, and I get to PLAN for the next year. Planning is one of my favorite things. I love it. I am still in a …
Press Forward
“Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope, and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold, thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life.” 2 Nephi 31:20 …
Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam
This little man started Sunbeams on Sunday and he totally rocked it. He walked right into the Primary room and went and sat down with his class all before I even knew what was happening! Sometimes watching your kids grow up is pretty amazing. Other times I just want to cry. Verdict is out about …
Benjamin’s 3rd Birthday
Benjamin makes us laugh from sun up to sun down. The kid is hilarious and so good natured and we just love him to bits. Our little guy is really not-so-little anymore. I can definitely see him evolving to play with more of the “big kid” toys and activities. His desired to do them is …
