Excitement does not describe how I felt when we were offered a marine biology class at the beach!!

Saltwater Studies popped up in a homeschool group email one day, and ours lives have since been enriched with a greater understanding of God's creation.

Below is a glimpse of one of the classes my 11 year-old was blessed to attend.  

I sit in the back of the group and soak up all the info that the teacher shares.   

What an awesome class room!!

Of course, the lil' brothers don't mind hanging out either.

Wedding Bells

A very special friend got married this weekend at a beautiful park.

My eldest was a Junior Bridesmaid.

I am beyond excited for my friend as she begins this new season of her life!

Here is a small glimpes from our weekend.

We started the weekend with a rehearsal and dinner at P.F.Changs

The wedding day!

Friends

Today we enjoyed having some friends over.

"We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet.

Even longer,' Pooh answered."

Siblings and a Birthday

Siblings

Siblings are the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring, quite often the hard way

You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them

My greatest memories are those shared with my siblings, for they are not simply thoughts of our shared past, but rather stories about our own beginnings

?

One thing that we see in our kids that has been so positive and uplifting, is the bond that has formed over time. It's a beautiful thing to see! They truly are all best friends. Spending every day together schooling, playing, and creating has led to a beautiful closeness. Not to say that they don't fight or act like normal siblings, but they have more beautiful times then not.
