Well as most of our dearest friends know, we are growing our family!! No, we are not pregnant.....we are....ADOPTING!!
We had always had a heart for adoption but now God is allowing us to really activate that calling!
God showed us that we were to adopt from Columbia South America. We are very excited and blessed blessed blessed!!
I know most people think we are crazy with 6 kids and homeschooling! This shouldnt be that much of a shock.....maybe we should just go ahead and lay it out that we may adopt every few years until we age out! haha...there now we dont have to keep announcing it!
Love you yall!
Fundraising starts this week.....

Ye' Ole School House
Our goal this year is to be lovers of learning. It wasnt as important to us WHAT we studied, as LOVING studying together, as a family, every night.
Billy's new year's resolution was to gather every night together to read God's word, sing, play instruments, pray, talk, and share. It is January 26th and we have not missed a night. Even when we went out of town, Billy pulled the car over at a gas station, pulled out our huge KJV Thomas Chainlink Bible (thanks Muna), and read to us. This simple act of leadership from my priest has turned my family upside down. God's presence is in our home in a major way and we are SO happy to have Him!
This year Abigail is studying the 20th century to present day (we will end with the presidential election next November!). The littles get some of the overflow but are mostly geared towards storybooks, and hands-on science.
We also began delivering hot lunches on Tuesday as a side business, and family meals for Tuesday nights for busy moms! That has been a wonderful experience to work together as a family. We cook everything from scratch and it is yummy!
