Giveaway Monday

Let the giveaways begin!!!

To start off the giveaways I

thought we would give away 2 items

this week, because not everyone homeschools.

Giveaway #1

A gift with the homeschool family in mind.

HOMESCHOOLOPOLY

It's just like Monopoly

only it was created themed around

the life of a homeschooler.

(Our family loves games)

Item #2

A gift for anyone :)

A really cute

paisley journal/notebook,

a set of pens, and a

$20 Staples gift card for whatever else

suits your needs.

(We all like to go Staples from the electronics, to the school supplies, to the stationary)

RULES:

The rules are very simple. Leave us a comment and let us know if you would like to have giveaway #1 OR #2 . This will put you name in the drawing one time. If you would like for your name to be put in the drawing 2 times then post a link to the giveaway on your blog, and your name will go in twice. It's that simple, the giveaway is open until 8:00 PM Sunday night. The winners will be announced next Monday November 16th.

the boys said we are going to be good on the way......

Wesley said ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ........

We all said rest area leg stretch...........

At last FLORIDA!!!!!!!!

We arrived safely and the van ride was very nice with Ruth Ella sleeping the first 4 hours! We had lots of fun today (Sunday) at the resort enjoying the beautiful warm weather with pictures to come. Tomorrow we are heading to Magic Kingdom for the day, until tomorrow :)

The countdown is on!

We are less than 24 hours away from leaving for vacation, and very excited! The 6 boys are all packed and ready to go. The girls are 90% packed, and I still need to pack for Arthur, Ruth Ella, and myself. We are ahead of the schedule this time and it's nice to not feel the rush of I'm running out of time. Which is what I normally feel at this point. I hope the day continues this way and remains pleasant until tomorrow mornings early departure :)

We are heading to sunny warm Florida....... we are hoping for no rain!


We'll be visiting Mickey Mouse and his friends, and introducing Ruth Ella to the beautiful magical castle of Magic Kingdom!!!

If time and weather permit we'll be taking in a day of fun and sun at the beach!

We'll be posting along the way, to share our fun and adventures :)

Each of the giveaways have been set up as a scheduled post :)

Wash Day

What do you do with a baby when it's a very busy wash day and your baby looks like this????


She wants to be held, she wants to be rocked, she wants to be kissed....oh my!!!

There are loads to be washed.....

There are towels to be folded.....

There are baskets of clean clothes to put away.

So what should we do with the whiny fussy baby??? I think I have an idea......

Place her in a basket on top of the clean laundry that was just taken out of the dryer!!!

Ah...it's nice and warm, just right for a small babe!

Then cover her with a blanket and let her sleep......peace and quite :)

My apologies...

November is here and October is gone,

and so is

Down Syndrome Month!

I would like to offer my

sincere apologies

for not keeping up with the

31 for 21

commitment in October.

I feel I bit off way more

than I could chew.

I began posting from my journal

about the first days after

Jonathan was born. These journal writings

were about Jonathan's birth and surgery, but

also filled with the emotional journey that

the Lord was leading us down.

I will continue to write post over the

next few weeks from the journal.

I wasn't able to keep up the daily writings from the

journal because of well....

the 10 faces you see in the picture above.

9 of these sweet smiling faces

haven't kept me from writing daily.

Just 1 has the tiny one!

Amazing how this 1 tiny person requires

so much of her Mama's time.

It's also funny how quickly I forget

how much time goes into nursing a new baby.

Of course I wouldn't trade those

precious loving moments for the world!

The thing is with all the time spent

with Ruth Ella and being a little sleep deprived

I haven't had as much time

for those 9 smiling faces....

Elizabeth, Amanda, Rebekah,

Madison, Jonathan, James, Stephen,

William, and Wesley.

So I got behind on the blog posting because

when there are those spare moments

I've put the time into my wonderful husband

and those 9 smiling faces.

Now if you were keeping up with the

post about the journal I kept

when Jonathan was born then look for

posts titled

Our Jonathan Journey.

This week I will be writing a few new post

from the journal, but I will be taking it

slow. This time not placing myself on a time

frame in which I can't keep up with :)

Wordless Wednesday...7 weeks old today
