Finally!



Our new little man a few weeks ago! Isn't God's creation amazing! We've decided on Jonas Heath for his name and I am so excited to get to meet him in real life. He already looks like our other little boys. Another fun fact is  that npw the boys are catching up with our girls. We have 4 girls and soon to be 3 boys. A day I thought I would NEVER see! It makes me sad to think even for a second that if I wouldn't have followed the Lord's leading and had my reversal, I would have misssed out on this precious face. Along with these 2 down below:

                                                                    Jackson
                                                                    Emily

I also wanted to say that I think I am back to blogging atleast 1 time a week. I have thought and thought about it and decided that its something that I want to do. We can hopefully be a witness and an inspiration to other people that read this blog. We are real people living real lives. Nothing fake or candy coated here! We love Jesus and try our best but sometimes fail, to honor the Lord daily!
We've been doing school for 3 weeks now and are doing pretty good. We've learned about Abraham Lincoln, the creation story, Noah and God's promise thru the rainbow plus the usual stuff. We are still using and LOVING our simple Rod and Staff. We did a leaf project and took a trip to our local museum's nature trail. We're members, so we go quite often. Im also going to post some weekly classroom pictures and keep you all update with whats going on in our schooling.

                                                   This little frog went hopping across
                                                   our path and I caught him! We wanted
                                                   to take him home, but we let him go!
                                                     Our children minus Jonas
                                                     Birds of Prey Trail
                                                    I think its a barn owl?
                                                  A hawk who was missing a half of wing

Well thats all for now! I hope my pictures post correctly. Im just not great at all that type of stuff. God bless you all and have a great week!

Blessings~

      Thank you so much! Your blog keeping has rather inspired me to start back posting. These will be memories we can cherish and hopefully witness to people for our Lord. And yes the frog was so tiny! I have no clue what kind it was, but I have never seen any type of frog that small.
      Blessings,

    I tried to leave a comment the other day but I seem to be terrible at such things. :) I have enjoyed reading about your family here. Your little Jonas is PRECIOUS and I look forward to learning more about your homeschooling too. :) We can often glean so much from others. Thanks for sharing.

Thoughts to Ponder~ a jumbled mess~

I've had many things on my mind lately and I have decided after much thought and prayer that this is a good place to share those things. I know I don't have a super popular blog that tons of people read, but the whole reason I set out to blog years ago was to keep memories and to hopefully inspire a few people along the way. Not to make money or have a ton of followers. I have not posted as frequently as I would have like to, but I really want to try to make a point to post atleast once a week from here on out. In real life, I have very few friends. I can credit the internet to my closest friend in real life and my other friends are all online, although I hope to meet some of them someday. I look at blogs and sometimes feel insecure in my own life. I think to myself, that my life isn't as "perfect" as some of those other ladies. I have struggles daily and live a very real life. My children are not cookie cutter kiddos lined up with fake smiles and perfectly styled

2014 in Review

    I decided that a great place to start here on my blog since I haven't really blogged in so long is to recap our year. I would love to put lots of pictures in this post to be quite honest with you, I am posting from my new macbook air and I haven't the slightest clue how to post pictures  from here yet. So I'll probably come back with just a photo post :-)     In January of 2014, we re-listed our home after abruptly removing it from the market in early December 2013, with a new realtor. I honestly  had high hopes that our home would sell quickly. Again, God had other plans. Its still for sale as I type this and we are once again planning on moving to a different company after our contract ends, later this month. Im  sure some of you maybe thinking that perhaps this is a sign that it isn't God's will for us to move. And that may be the case. Time will only tell, but we certainly still feel that God wants us in the country and that he is preparing the perfect buy

Update on life at our home :-)

I just realized that I haven't posted since our little Jonas was born nearly 8 weeks ago. My how time flies! Our life has been both wonderful and chaotic since then. So to update you all... Jonas was born March 1, 2013 at 10:48 am and he weighed 7 pounds and 8 ounces. He had a headfull of dark hair, tan skin and was such a sweet, calm baby from the start. I am so very blessed to have him be so calm especially after Jackson was quite a demmanding baby. He cried alot. But praise the Lord we got through it and he is a sweet, sweet little boy. My c-section went well and I have actually had one of the best recoverys ever. If it hadn't  been for just seeing Jonas and nursing him, I wouldn't have realized I had even gave birth. Much less by means of my 7th c-section! Jonas was toungue tied and we were so greatful to a new doctor in our area who is not only a wonderful ob/gyn, but specializes in breastfeeding issues and early infant care. So he came in on the next day after Jonas
