Today is the anniversary of my grandfather's death. He died in 2006. Edward was 18 months old. We went to noon Mass with my Mom, me and the 4 boys. Then stayed for Stations ( Read more... ) -
John age 7
How is my baby John already 7. Yeah, I know he's the second of four kids, but he is my itty bitty baby!!! He is sweet as can be too. I love that kid. His eyes just dance with life. He soothes my soul a lot. VERY much like his dad. He is learning to read right now. We put science and history on hold to do reading and math hard core until the year ( Read more... ) -

personal pat on my back
I have so much to do this week, we are having Edward's eighth and Patrick's third birthday party on Saturday. So I have to clean this house. I really haven't touched it since right before Nicholas was born. A few hurried clean ups before company, but really cleaning? Nope.

School
Joe, I think it's safe to say, is 100% on board with homeschooling and gave me the thumbs up to start ordering supplies. I'm working on the budget for next month, so I needed to know when to have the $ ready to purchase. His only concerns are my stress level with a newborn. I reminded him that I'm thinking of that and planning for a year that will ( Read more... ) -
