Atlanta Homeschool Convention
This past weekend we made a trip to Atlanta for the yearly homeschool convention. We normally go to Cincinnati or Nashville because they are much closer, but with Trevor’s trip to Africa, neither of those worked out. At this convention the boys had the opportunity to participate in the “Academy of Arts” skit that they…

School update and Silly Holiday Celebrations
We are almost done!! Less than a month to go. We omitted Spring Break this year because Trevor was out of town and we had nothing else to do, so that really helped get us a bit ahead. It’s been a challenging year, but we’ve gotten through it. I’ll probably change things up a bit…

Trevor got Glorianna and I matching vests. My “big” present was the new paint for the livingroom. Whoo!! Glorianna is really into…

New Livingroom
So for Christmas this year I requested a fresh coat of paint on the livingroom walls. It’s been 10 years since we last painted. It was long overdue. Well Trevor decided to go all out… Here’s our before pictures. They’re not very clear, but you should get the idea anyway. The only wall not pictured…

The Piano Guys!
The boys are a big fan of The Piano Guys. If you’ve never heard them, look them up….they are really talented musicians. Zion found out they were going to be in Evansville, IN last week, so Trevor and I thought it would be a great “Christmas Present” for the boys. They were very excited. The…
