Bubbles, Dirt, and God’s Nature!

17 September 2009 in Homeschooling, Special Needs/Cerebral Palsy

A typical summer day for the triplets! They love playing with the bubbles, as you can see – please excuse Savannah’s blue panties sticking out – what can I say… she’s 5, very independent, likes to dress herself!


I can’t believe that Fall will be here in less than a week. The kids have been having  fun with the leaves covering the ground, raking them into big piles and playing in them… Our family is very excited as Fall is our favorite season of the year… and this also means that our move date is quickly approaching. Exactly 2 weeks away from today!

A new season of our life that is sure to bring much joy, but undoubtedly sadness, as well. We are going to miss my mom and sisters something terrible, our pastor and his wife, not to mention the many wonderful friends we’ve made all over this beautiful state. Tennessee will always remain “our 2nd home”, and fortunately we will be less than a 10-hour drive away… so visits back here should a lot easier and more affordable. At least more so than our trips back West. Although we are just itching to squeeze in a cross country trip again sometime in the near future! It has been more than a couple years since we’ve seen the Grandma’s (late 70’s & 93 years old!), not to mention the Aunt’s, Uncles, cousins, and dear dear friends!

Anyhow, enjoy the few pics I’m sharing today. I hope each and every one of you is having a season full of joy  -laughter and love, building happy memories with your loved ones!!

We leave tomorrow for our weekend family retreat at the Courageous Kids Camp in Kentucky! A world class medical camping facility in the rolling hills of Scottsville, Kentucky providing a cost-free, safe, and fun camping experience for disabled children and their families. We are so thrilled and excited to have the opportunity to do something like this! Thank you, Jesus!!!

My sunflower’s only bloomed for a few weeks, but they were so lovely while they lasted! The kids loved them!

Savannah got carried away in mom’s container garden…  with the help of big brother (Jeremy), of course!
