"Proclaim Liberty throughout All the land unto All the Inhabitants Thereof."

We are studying the Revolutionary War period of US History. While in Jersey for the Thanksgiving break we took a train to Phila,PA to Independence Hall. It was a great time with friends and family. We only touched a small part of the park. John said you could smell the history in the birth place of our Nation. Here are some pics.

First Day of School

The first day of school I always have this perfect idea in my head that my kids are going to cooperate by waking up at a reasonable time, eat breakfast, clean them selves and sit at the table demanding to be educated. This is our first day of school, homemade monkey bread with little kids insisting on helping Mama make. 30 minutes later with sticky sugar/cinnamon hands and a pile on the floor it's accomplished. Emerging from his warm bed the 3rd grader with sleep still in his eyes asking "Why are we starting school now? It's not even fall yet." "Can't we just wait." "No we can't"
On Lord help me get through the day!

People wonder why I chose to home-educate, I have no perfect answer just that the Lord has called me to do this. I love it, it's hard, and humbling but I would not change it.
I love seeing my kids face's light up when they learned something new or something old that they finally "get." So I will take the sticky hands and the attitudes just to continue this journey with my kids.

Here are some pics the original pics I had got um well erased so these will have to do.




Some more pics: Today's Solar System project we had a helper Miss Maddy.

Keeping you updated!

Sorry I haven't blogged lately been busy with swim lessons,family and friends visiting, and of course tee-ball. We start school Monday so here is some summer fun pics and a video.

Happy First Birthday Jessie Bear!

Jeska Ann Robinson was born on June 18th, 2010 at 3:33 p.m in PVH in Lincoln, Maine.
I was induced do to her being over the due date and her head was "floating." John and I went to the hospital at 6:00 am I got hooked up to iv's and pitocin was started.
I think around 9 or 10 our good friend Sarah came to help coach, with many painful contractions later Jessie bear was born. Jeska- means God behold, God is with us. Her name is so fitting for her and our family's lives. God is with us always even when we think He is gone, He never leaves us nor forsakes us.
