I have been so thankful for all God has given us and the wonderful town we are living in now. We do miss Santa Cruz so much though and are hoping to get back to visit sometime soon. Living there for over 15 years made an impact on all of our lives.
I am currently taking a 31 Day challenge to not spend anything on non-essentials. Here is a blog entry on the topic: http://www.livingwellspendingless.com/2012/09/30/31-days-challenge-ground-rules/
God is so good to us! We have a beautiful home and our children are healthy! I am so thankful that we can homeschool. I took a position as a Supervising Teacher with Horizon Charter Schools in the Fall of 2012 and have been loving every minute. I have wonderful families and I love homeschooling my own children. Emily graduated early last year and has been working on her music. She has posted some of her songs on YouTube and sounds incredible! I am so proud of her. She is also on the Worship Team at our local church. She is awesome and the Lord has blessed her incredibly! I am homeschooling 5 this year and feel incredibly blessed to be homeschooling!
Sarah is an avid reader and incredibly talented in music and dance. It seems she can learn any type of music and dance just by observation alone. I can't wait to see her perform in her first competition in April.
Hannah is also incredibly talented in music, drama, and dance. Her and Sarah are taking Highland Dance regularly and will compete in April for the first time. Hannah is also incredibly talented in music and has a beautiful voice.
Jonathan is very interested in science and is incredibly talented. He loves to do experiments on his own and hopes to become a scientist someday.
Sophie is also an avid dancer in Highland Dance and also plays the piano. She plays so beautifully and also sings wonderfully as well.
Joshua is still interested in insects and loves to play with them. He is in Kindergarten this year and is advancing well in reading and mathematics as well.
We can hardly believe our youngest one is 3! Eliana is such a joy to us all. We all love her so much!
We hope to have more children, but rest in the plans that God has for us.
We love you all! Please keep in touch!
