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.

The Gifts God Gives Us

Our son Joel loves to draw. He has gone through stacks of sketch books over the years and tons of ink! We realized he was going to be an artist when he was two years old and he was already drawing stick people! It is a wonderful gift that he's been given by God although so many times he has wished he had been gifted athletically instead. He LOVES sports so much. However, we know that God has made him artistic for a purpose. We don't get to choose the gifts God gives us, but we are to share them and use them for His glory.
