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 …
New Year Showcase
Extra activities have been a rough go the last year! Our kiddos are not involved in a lot, but dance has been one thing that Sarah has been able to continue doing. She loves it and we were so glad that we could finally get together to watch her perform with her class. They performed …
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 …
Sarah’s 6th Birthday
Celebrating this sweet girl is so much fun for all of us! Our Sarah brings such a LIGHT to our family – and she always has from day one. One of her greatest God-given gifts is her ability to make others happy. And she does it so well. So it was wonderful to give back …
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 …
Sarah’s Spring Showcase
Sarah started dance this last year and it has been so much fun watching her begin to love a new hobby. She is currently in a jazz, tap, and ballet class {it’s all combined in the same class} and she has really enjoyed it. When COVID hit in March, Sarah’s dance class was put on …
Sarah’s First {naturally} Lost Tooth!
This girl is growing up! She has been so excited to lose a tooth and it FINALLY happened. About a year and a half ago, Sarah had to get her two front teeth removed because of an accident. Her bottom front tooth has been wiggling for awhile now and after dinner her and Mark got …
{RECAP} February 2020 Schoolhouse
I feel like we have really hit our stride this winter with the flow of our day. It has really been great and it is encouraging as we move forward. That is…until a couple months when I am sure we will have to adapt some more because that’s life. BUT…right now, we are doing pretty …
“We Rejoice in Christ”
Isaiah was a prophet in Jerusalem. He lived about 700 years before Jesus Christ was born. He was a witness of Jesus and he wrote down the things that he saw. He saw when Jesus was born. He was able to see Mary with the baby Jesus and he knew that Jesus was not like …
{RECAP} January 2020 Schoolhouse
January was a bit of a flop for us with the exception of SCHOOL! We had a great month filled with learning! We are feeling a little cooped up…the wind is just brutal here and makes even short walks pretty unenjoyable. But we have high hopes for February! This month, though, I have had many …
