Well, it has been a while since I have posted. My wonderful husband posted the announcement of our daughter. I guess it is time for me to post an update on our family.
Life as a mother of five ages seven and under, has not been as hard as I expected. Now, I admit, I have my hard days. I think it is especially hard since we homeschool, but I have to give praise to God for sustaining me, and helping me through each day.
We joined the church that we have been visiting for a while. It is wonderful to have a home church again. We joined the Sunday that I returned after the birth of our daughter. A few weeks ago, the church had a sweet Sip and See for us. I will post about it later.
Our children are all doing well. My oldest is really enjoying reading. She recently read Where the Red Fern Grows, and really enjoyed it. She also read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in one day. I am so thankful that my little girl enjoys reading. It is hard to keep enough books available for her. My second born has not officially started school, but she is very interested in learning. She comes to me almost daily asking to do homeschool. Just last week, she found a book and copied the title of it onto a piece of paper. All of her own accord. She did such a good job. My son is growing well as well as our two baby girls.
I will end this post with some pictures.
