Delayed

In a perfect world, we would be landing in Chicago right now. In our world, we are accepting the fact that we were not supposed to even be on the plane to Chicago. We are about 45 minutes away from boarding our new flight and we are very happy we brought our gadgets to keep us occupied.

Please keep us in your prayers as we fly from Syracuse to Detroit/Minneapolis and then on to Pierre.

Thanks you in advance!

To the BEST Mom EVER!

Happy Birthday, Mommy!  We love you so much!  We had a great time celebrating your birthday (spider & all) and we hope you had as much fun as we did.  Know that we will be thinking of you often and missing you!

Make sure those children you are watching treat you well today!  You are the best mom, mother-in-law, grandma there is!  We are so thankful God gifted our family with you. 

P. S. Did we happen to mention how much we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE YOU!

The Buzz!

I just had to post and let y'all know, EXAMS are done for the older children and required PACE work is complete for the younger children!  

Can I get a great big "Praise the Lord"?!  Without Him, it would not have been possible.  Thank you, God, for getting us through another year of school!  Who knew when we started this journey 11 years ago, we would still be schooling at home, or that I would be schooling 4 children instead of 3.  

We are pleased to report:

1. Ty has completed his required work and has passed the 10th grade, he is "promoted" to the 11th grade!

2. Beth has completed her required work, passed 9th grade and is "promoted" to 10th grade!

3. Lys has completed her required work, passed 6th grade and is "promoted" to junior high! Oh, MY! She was just a baby when we started this journey!

4. Luc has completed his required work, passed 2nd grade and is not looking forward to 3rd grade at all!, Sorry!  He is promoted to 3rd grade, where cursive and multiplication facts await. Phew, when is vacation scheduled for next year?! Just kidding :-) 

Thank you to all who keep us in your prayers! We couldn't have done it without them!
