Welcome

Welcome to our place...just two steps away from the funny farm! To explain this name, whenever things get crazy at our house, I always say "Well, we are just two steps away from the funny farm!" As a very busy homeschooling family, things DO sometimes get a bit chaotic. But we love this life of living and learning together and there is never a dull moment!

The picture of the beautiful Amish farm on this page was taken while we were on the Strasburg Railroad.

Library Day


We are so blessed to have so many libraries to choose from. In the past 2 weeks, we've been to 3 different public libraries as well as a large church library! This morning we visited the small Manheim Township library near our church since we had to take Joel there for his Junior High boys Bible study and lunch. It is perhaps one of the smallest public libraries ever! We still managed to fill a bag of books to bring home with us. I found a novel by Ann Tatlock called All the Way Home about a woman who reunited with her Japanese childhood friend years after they were separated by the changes brought about after the bombing of Pearl Harbor during WWII. Because we just studied the WWII years and the Japenese incarceration in the internment camps, I am looking forward to reading this novel.
We got some potty books for Jaden! The potty training days will soon be here and our lives will change again with a few more visits close to the funny farm! It is SO MUCH EASIER when they wear diapers! (If you are scratching your head by what I said and don't know what I mean, you probably aren't a mom, haven't reached this stage yet with your child, or its been too long to remember!)
