It's been a while...
Well,it's been forever...really its been about four years or maybe five since I have actually taken time out to blog. I have had good intentions but intentions just don't translate to time...apparently for years. So there it is...my apology, probably to no one but myself but it makes me feel better regardless.
We have had some major changes in life since I last regularly blogged. First and foremost would be Charlie. He is four years old now and he is absolutely delightful. Seriously I had no idea boys would be so much stinking (and sometimes he really does stink) fun. I love being a boy-mom. It is maybe one of my favorite things on the planet. It's so challenging and so different from the girls. I cannot predict his behavior or his train of thought. He is a mystery to me and I absolutely love it. He looks just like his Daddy who I happen to really like. That makes it incredibly difficult to deal with when I am disciplining him and he looks up with those big ol' brown eyes and I just want to kiss his little face off. Oh my gosh... he is my JOY.
The second major change is that we pulled the girls out of school and now we are home schooling. That is insane you may be thinking and there are days I would totally agree. It is insane. I would have never imagined myself actually doing this but this is our second year and so far so good. There are some hard days, there have been hard transitions and some bumps in the road but overall, it's been a blessing. I am no expert on all things educational but I am definitely earning my degree in these kids. I love watching them learn and I love learning along with them. Hopefully I will be able to break some of that down here (assuming that it's not another 5 years between posts but who knows...it could be) but if not let me say to whomever reads this (hopefully my kids later in life) that this is a do-able endeavor. It's hard but it's worth the work. God specifically called us to this and obedience has led to many blessings. Listen and follow His leading and you will not go wrong (that is not assurance of ease, just assurance of peace).
So that's it for now...Brie is begging to use the computer because she is BORED! I remember being bored a few years ago, so we had Charlie...just kidding but it has been a while since there was a lack of things to do. And with that, I leave this space to fold laundry, run a taxi service, prepare a lesson and generally do things mother-y.
Until next time...Tracie
