{10.3.18} A dream of a morning today at @burgessorchards in Alpine. I am SO glad we rearranged our morning to be on this field trip. We got a tour of the orchard, along with some history, lots of singing, learning about trees/bees/fruit and picking our own apples. (And I want to spread the word, because not only were the apples delicious and the people SO kind, but they said they do tours for families, and they love doing family nights!) 🌳🍎🐝
{10.4.18} Why homeschool? There's not a simple, or even a single, answer- so it's so hard to know what to say. It's about choosing goodness and filling our days with light and love and curiosity. About combatting the word "busy" and living our lives from a place of peace. It's about being unhurried, and being together. Doing hard things, and doing them well. Sleeping in and laughing together in bed because that's exactly what is on the schedule, and even if it wasn't that would be okay too. It's about fighting and forgiving. Figuring each other out and figuring ourselves out, too. It's about building a house, a boat, a family and bringing Jesus Christ into the very middle of it. It's about listening to what would be the best for OUR family, and having the courage to act. It's about work, but also about peace. I knew it was different, but I didn't know how wonderful it would be. #peadensdohomeschool
{10.5.18} Several years ago I posted in Instagram when gas prices were down to $1.67. (Those were the days!) The other day I was thinking that I should post again, for... You know... posterity. Ha. Gas has been ranging from $3.06-$3.38 but today I filled up for $2.87 and I may have done a happy dance! #minivansusealotofgas
{10.24.18} Our first lost tooth! Literally. She's been so excited to finally have a wiggly tooth that today we pulled it and then we could never find it. #literallosttooth #fail She is hoping for a small prize under her pillow, like a plastic jumping frog or a little top. #lowexpectations I know it's trite, but I can't believe how big she is getting!
