Welcome to Our World!

A place to share our ideas, our beliefs, our convictions, the lessons we are learning both in our homeschooling journey and in our Christian walks...this is the purpose of my blogging.

Most of you know who we are but I will introduce us anyway. Larry and I (pictured to the right) have been married for 15 1/2 awesome years! He is my best friend and I can't spend enough time with him. He works diligently every day providing for our family and being the Godly Husband and Daddy that the Lord requires. Together we have brought eight wonderful children into this world and have five waiting with Jesus to meet us. We feel so blessed to be given the opportunity to raise little people that will one day be men and women of God.

Our parenting journey began about a month after we were married...after being told by several doctors that I'd never be able to have children. To our great surprise...we found out that I was pregnant! I guess the Lord had (has) other plans. As most of you know, we have continued to be blessed over and over again. And, we are still praying that maybe He will see fit for us to raise at least a few more. (Maybe a baby sister or two?)

Let me first introduce six of our sons...in the back are Caleb (14) and Luke (15) and in the front are Elijah (3), Micah (7), Tobias (4) and Connor (8).


And here is our beautiful daughter, Alyssa (who will be 13 in 2 weeks) and our youngest son, Samuel (15 months)...



They are each caring, loving, helpful, obedient, respectful, and just all-around awesome to live with!

We are blessed!!
