Temporary Leave of Absence
I won't be posting much for awhile. We have begun our busy days of home schooling starting up again full swing. This year we have a fourth grader, third grader and two in kindergarten! FUN!!! For curious minds we are doing Sonlight Core 3, US History emphasis, with our boys and Core K with our girls. Everyone has their separate math and so on, of course!We are also getting ready for our travel adventure for our adoption in September. We will be making an across country road trip in order to bring the whole family along. The last couple of days have been for preparing the house before we leave for a new baby to arrive home to. Lots to do for sure! Of course, there is always the abundance of paperwork and to do list relating to the adoption as well. We are plodding along well and hope to be on our way for our trip soon. Once we get to our destination and we wait for the baby to be born we plan on making great use of the experience for educational purposes by visiting lots of places we have never seen before. Everyone is beyond excited!!
Pray with us for a safe trip, healthy baby and for all the legal work to go through well.
Will update on our family when things settle down and we have someone special to announce!

Best blessings on your new adventure!!! What fantastic news.

Sarah!! I am so excited for you and your new baby and for your entire family!! Whoo hoo!! Praying, praying, praying! Have a safe journey and have fun!
I have been off line most of the summer (busy building and moving into a house). I have to say that this entry is wonderful news! Congratulations. I will be looking forward to reading your update.
How exciting! I am so exciting and praising God with you! You must be on pins and needles. God bless you, you're in my prayers!
How, how exciting. Look what I have missed. Your getting a baby!! Praise God honey. I'm so happy for you!!!!!!
I know what you mean by taking off for homeschooling. Yes, me. The husband said yes and were doing A Beka 2nd grade and preschool. Its a big change and were learning as we go but, I do enjoy him and he would trade going back to public school, even when the days are tough. Thanks for the encouragement. Sharing your story with me gave me the confidence to go ahead and brave it. God bless you.
I'll be praying your adoption goes well and you enjoy safe traveling.
God bless,
Shell

Aw! Shell, I hope you have a wonderful school year. Remember it's a big adjustment so take one day at a time and one lesson at a time. =) I grew up on Abeka! God bless your faithfulness to Him in doing whatever is right for your family!
I am so excited for you all and your upcoming addition! God is so good! I will be praying for you and the family. Keep us updated!
My husband and I are looking to adopt in the future. We will probably wait at least 5 more years, but we are hoping to adopt either siblings or two children from the same country. I have told him of your adoption stories and we have both been touched by it. Your children are very lucky to have parents like you and your husband. God bless!!!
