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.
Joel entered a drawing contest for Sports Illustrated for Kids magazine - designing a new mascot for his favorite team. Of course he drew a mascot for the Washington Redskins and I thought it was pretty good. He is very critical of his drawing and he wanted to throw it away. But I sent it in and it turned out to be the
grand prize winner!!!!!!! Braylon Edwards of the Cleaveland Browns helped to pick the winners and Joel has won his autographed helmet! Today we received the newest issue and his drawing is featured on page 27! In a few days, it will be on their website at
