Merry Christmas to all who read this!!  We are 
blessed beyond measure more and more
each year as the Lord continues to mold us and 
make us more like Him individually and as a family. 
2014 was an amazing year filled to overflowing
with incredible memories, amazing adventures, 
and beautiful blessings!  Of course there were
challenges...aren't there always? But that just leads
us all the more closer to each other and to our creator. 
We pray that each of you know the Great Love of 
the Lord Jesus in a personal and very real way.  He longs
to know you and He longs to embrace you and call you His own.
We pray this year that your relationship with Him 
flourishes in ways you never imagined!!
Merry Christmas & Happy 2015!!

Fall 2014

Well, I'm going for redemption before the end of the year!  :)  So,  here we go...  We have had a wonderful Fall & Winter.  The boys are all doing fabulous in school this year and absolutely love all their classes.  Crazy, huh?  Bubba B. is in 6th grade, Bubba is in 5th grade, and Little Bubba is now in 2nd.   Hard to believe that next year we'll have two in Middle School!  Homeschooling is still going very well, and they are all still really enjoying their enrichement school on Mon & Friday's.  I think the greatest love among the three kids is Bubba B.'s Chemistry/Physics class.  He really does love science!  Bubba B. and Bubba are also in the band this year.  Bubba B. continues to thrive playing the clarinet and Bubba began learning guitar last January.  Since his private instructor is also the band director, he is getting the wonderful privilege of playing the guitar in the band.   I'll be posting a video of his Christmas solo in the next post for Christmas. Here are a few of their back to school pics and fun Spirit Day pictures from the fall semester. 
 
 
 
 My handsome guys!  Melt. My. Heart!
Super Hero day at school!  Yes, Bubba chose Jesus!

Sports this Fall consisted of Bubba B. running 
his first Triathlon and 5K and Bubba and
 Little Bubba both playing flag football. 
 
 
 We had lots of fun this year on our yearly
November pilgrimage back to simpler times. 
Putting away all the electronics in our life
for an entire month has become the norm
in our family as this was our 6th year! Here are
a few Fall pics from the Arboretum.
