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.

Snowy Day




Yesterday we got almost 5 inches of snow, winter's last hurrah! It looks beautiful, even though we are eager for Spring's flowers and warmer weather. Ivy enjoyed sledding with neighbors and Jaden had fun outside around the yard. Joel moped around disgusted that it had to snow - he says he would like it if it weren't so cold and so wet!!! And yes, we still had school! But our Monday morning homeschool group was cancelled so we still had a more relaxing day and the kids could sleep in a little bit.

Today we'll be going to the Pediatrician's office to hopefully remedy Jaden and Ivy's coughs. Perhaps it was a bad thing to let them play in the snow yesterday but I thought some fresh air would do them good.... they've been sick for awhile. Hopefully soon our nights in the bathroom with the steamy hot shower running and vicks all over the chest will soon end. Why are coughs always so bad at night?

We're there with you with the coughs! If you look at Sam's slide for her bday, you'll see we were at the beach this week-how crazy snowing in one place and sunny in another. Your snow looks beautiful though!:)
