I am an Air Force wife and mother of three precious gifts from God. I enjoy learning at home with my children, and the many adventures this life sends our way. So stop by often to visit, and check out what the Five Nomads are up to.
Our first day back to school after our wonderful Christmas break. We are all moving a little slow. Can we rewind, and go back to the beginning of Advent again?
ABM, celebrating Advent and Christmas were work, but so much more fun than regular school. So yes, I would rather do that over again. Especially since Monday starts our beefed up school work. I am determined to keep on task with The General's grammar, and begin the long awaited Latin program I purchased so long ago. See Christmas shopping sounds better already! Good luck Marti. It isn't terrible, in fact it was fine. Christmas break was just so relaxing and fun. Thanks Dawn. I need the encouragement.
Oh, I forgot to mention the photo is of Princess last year when we lived in DC. So far we have only had one little spot of snow here in WA. It only lasted a few hours. Whenever you see flurries here, you need to get the gear on and enjoy. Before you know it, it will switch back to our familiar rain. . .and that is always the end of the snow fun.
To protect my children, I have chosen pseudonyms for my blog.
The General, my oldest commanded his own army back in DC. He is a take charge kind of boy, so it fits.
Princess was the first word out of my husband's mouth when he first laid eyes on our beautiful little girl.
Bubby was ginormous when he was born, and oh was he a fatso! At first I wasn't sure his name fit him, so I called him Tubby Bubby.
The General
The first one to call me mommy. He is a take charge kind of guy. He heads up his own army of neighborhood boys.
Princess
Her beautiful spirit has taught me to be much softer and more gentle in my mothering.
Bubby
The icing on our cake!
Attitude
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company. . .a church. . .a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past. . .we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. . .I am convinced life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. . .we are in charge of our Attitudes." Charles Swindoll
