Check out this cool family...

Hi everyone,
I thought the Eddyblouins would love this website! It's http://www.7kidsfarm.com/OrderNow.html
Melissa G. told me about it, and I immediately thought of our favorite Oregonian family. I think we should all make a pilgrimage to North Carolina and visit these guys! Gotta get some emu oil, cuz my emu's been squeakin! Love you all, Sondra

TV Reviews




It must be because of the other commentators. . yeah. . right!

But Danielle Bean got JUNIOR HIGH!! Consequently we must critically examine the metaphysical source of this purient drivel such that the blatent contradiction shown will be laid bare for all to see (Smythe, Withers, Bezinski; Facing the Progressive Escatology of the Liberal Media; Harcourt; 1973).

Spunky? Moi?!

I have garnered a bold/nutty woman reputation in the homeschooling group by virtue of sending out an email with the subject "LICE!" Actually, I connected with some Moms at coffee and doughnuts thanks to lice story sharing. . .funny how what was a stressful experience brings me closer to having a friends. It all works to the good--even lice!

I think I have fixed the missing comment link. . .we'll see.

Whose birthday is it anyway!?


I will be the kind of mother who calls her children the hour they were born to gush "30 years ago right now I was holding your sweet body to my chest. . . !" So far today I have indulged in kissing my boys' face all over and remembering how thrilled I was six years ago to be holding my beautiful son. We knew he was John Henry (and not Thaddeus) because he was so big a strong, with a neck like a football player. A happy baby--who only cried during diaper changes. That year for lent we made a calendar that was labeled "Walking the path to Calvary with Jesus". For every day of lent we had a little purple John Henry footprint. I saved one in his baby book. I also remember Mary Catherine (6) carrying him in her doll sling. Now he's working on reading, reciting poetry, and yearning for little league to begin (oops--gotta sign-up!). What a gift we were given with this boy!
