Still No Baby....

I think she's faking it all ;)

Anyday now...

There is going to be a new member to the family, my little sister is expecting her 3rd baby any day now. Her due date in the 29th, but her first two were early. Soooooo we are expecting this one to come early too!! It might not, but we want it too!! I get to be in the room again, to take pictures and videos. It's such an amazing experience, I'm there when my niece or nephew takes their first breath into this world. It's cool. Thanks Cari for having me in their to share in this miracle!! We made guesses, but I don't know what happened to the paper, I guess boy, Nov 25th. Michael guesses boy too, and two of the 4 kids are with us, but the other 2 think girl. We'll see soon!!! I can't wait!!! Another new baby to hold and snuggle!!


Sadly Alexa has had to stop horse riding lessons. The place we've been dealing with, the people who ride there and keep their horses there, were giving Alexa's trainer some grief. So it was either horse riding or church, cause that was the only time that worked. So, we chose church. Of course. It was sooo sad though, because Alexa was doing sooo well, and loving it so much. We hope to phone some places in the new year, or go back to this place in the spring. We'll see, maybe we can find something to occupy her for the next half of the winter season. Noah is almost done his power skating/hockey skills class. He's done well, and we registered him for outdoor hockey. Breanna has been doing well with soccer, she scored 4 goals her first time playing. Very impressive, since she has never played before. She loves it. And Emmalee is really enjoying guitar!! She is moving along well I think and really enjoys taking lessons from someone she knows!


School is going well too, I've started something new. That's what I love about homeschooling! We are trying to do math, science, geography, social on Tuesdays and Thursdays only and phonics, spelling, art and misc. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. So far it's going well. I just felt soooo overwhelmed with trying to do EVERYTHING in one day. It was just too much. So I hope this works. I like having structure, and a plan. It makes day to day life a little bit easier! I also have been doing somethings to get house work done too, especially laundry. So far that's about all I've got organized. It happens on Wednesday, Wash Wednesdays! That also means clean sheet day!!!! Love clean sheet day!!


I have to share a photo, if you've made it this far in my novel, humor me ;) I'm hoping this will maybe motivate me to do more...mmmm, maybe this is what I should do Sunday afternoon!!
Doesn't it look mouth watering!?! It's homemade (not a bread machine) multi grain bread!! Yumm-o!!
