Grandparents Getaway Day #34
Special Music
Princess #2 made her first public appearance with her violin. It was a pale comparison; but beautiful, to our pianist for who for more years than I can count; has retired and this is the first offertory after her retirement. You will be missed Krista, we are praying for you.

Throwback Tuesday
In a galaxy far, far, away...many, many years ago... 19 to be exact...our first Valentine's Day
Grandparents Getaway Day #21
Great Love Has No Man...
than he that lays down his life for his friends.
These people... they are precious! They are my brothers and sisters... they are my friends. They are so loved by Christ that He gave His life for them... and I should love them the same. As we talk of our "love" on this Valentine's Day let us remember that God also calls us to love his church and the people in it as much as if not more than we love our chosen "loves".
Grandparents Getaway Day #20
Exploding Rainbows
We had co-op this week. It was really fun to get together with our homeschooler friends. We missed the January meeting due to my surgery... so it was even more fun to catch up with everyone! We did a science experiment called exploding rainbows... the kiddos loved it
Grandparents Getaway Day #18
New Phrase in our house
So this week we added a new phrase to our house... "Load the dishwasher!"
A contractor friend of ours hooked us up with a used dishwasher and rebuilt a shelf unit to house it! It has been 8 years of hand-washing dishes and it is now over!! Thank you sooooo much Diehls!
Grandparents Getaway Day #17
Nor'Easter
Well I asked for it, so here it is... our first real nor'easter in about 3 years! We are up to about 6 inches and it is still coming fast and furious... expected to snow all day.
Grandparents Getaway Day #16
Library Research
We love our local library as homeschoolers. Two of the three are doing a research project for the next few weeks and we are here looking at encyclopedias, getting/ordering books on their topics. Our local librarians know us by name and we love all the help they provide! Thank you!
Notice the bright blue sky and melty snow!
Grandparents Getaway Day #15
Nothing New Under the Sun
Well it is Tuesday and we have snow/sleet!
Feeling a little like I have seen this before... or maybe four??
Grandparent Getaway Day #14
Quality Time
Just a picture of Princess #1 and I dreaming of a dishwasher... going on 8 years without one!
Grandparents Getaway Day #13
Superbowl Sunday
We had our small group over for Super Bowl Sunday. While I am not a Patriots fan (even though we originate from MA) they played a good game and had a well deserved win.
Grandparents Getaway Day #12
That's All Folks
KJ's been out on these bright sunny winter days tracking us some rabbits!
Grandparents Getaway Day #10
Family Game Night
Just a nice relaxing night in with mock take-out from Panera Bread (broccoli cheddar soup and steak/white cheddar panini). Played a few games and watched Night at the Museum per Princess #3 because she is learning about Sacagawea.
Grandparents Getaway Day #9
Dave Ramsey's Budget Meeting
We started bi-weekly budget meetings more than 10 years ago when we were first introduced to Dave Ramsey's financial program and we still have them today... "spending" the paycheck. 😍
