Welcome Fall 2006, and School....


Well, this 'homeschooling' momhas become a 'school' mom. I can't believe it has happened. I have to say, it has been a huge blessing, overall! Big changes are happening.. I am in my 30's now.. I am trying to switch to Katie instead of Kate.. and I sent my kids to school. Is this some kind of early-life crisis?? I can't be sure! LOL!

What I do know, is that the Lord is really blessing our family, and I am very hopeful in his provision for us.. and for his protection, too.

So, now I am room mom, assistant scout den leader, choir director, and just plain old mom, which I love being! It has taken a lot of pressure off of me, to have someone else in charge of the actual education part of schooling. And, the teachers at the boys' school have all been just wonderful!

Anyway, I heard our little ones' heartbeat today. I cried so hard! I was just so convinced that this one was going to leave us already, too. But, hey, at least I know I have had 10 and 1/2 weeks with him/her. What a blessing!

That is it for now. Here is a pic of the boys going off to school. They are my pride and joy! I just love seeing them dressed up in their school uniforms.. ( I just wish they had to wear ties!!! )

Over and out--

Th conclusion of Summer: Does it HAVE to end?!?

Bowling with the boys. This was a BLAST! Our 3 y/o, Liam liked it the most, I think! He was SO excited! They can't wait to play again...




















Labor Day weekend.. we took our *New Van*!! to Lake Michigan's beautiful "Sleeping Bear Dunes." ALl you East coasters are really missing out.. Lake Michigan is so beautiful!! Camping is well, umm, LOTS of work with 5 kids.. but, we had a great time with some really fun families. ANd *Maybe* we will do it again... in a few years! LOL!
