It’s a gorgeous day here… It started snowing last night and the snow is still softly falling. We seem to get a lot of pretty wild snow storms, where the wind blows the snow sideways, and by the time the storm is over there are places where the wind has swept the ground completely clean, […]

It can be very hard to get our whole family (all 5 kids and grandkids) together, so we don’t have any recent pictures of all of us together. I decided that Thanksgiving was the perfect time for a family picture (and I wouldn’t let them eat until the picture was taken… good motivator!)

I made a page that has all the information from this unit study and pictures of the lapbooks […]

We’ve had a crisis with M, and I would really appreciate it if you could keep M in your prayers…
Here is what is happening… The main medication M takes for his schizophrenia (clozaril) can have the side effect of dropping his white count dramatically. This side effect doesn’t happen often, but can be fatal… this […]
