TEXTING TYPO
Supposedly the miscommunication regarding what time Em was supposed to head for home tonight is my fault. I beg to differ since she KNOWS that I’m not very good at texting and if she was so shocked by the time I stated in the text, she should have texted (or …
DRIVER’S LICENSE
Today was a BIG DAY at our house! Last Friday marked the end of Emily’s six month driving instruction with the learner’s permit. Today she went in to take the driving portion of the test and again scored 100%! YEA EM! The examiner said she must have had a great …
DON’T TOUCH ME!
Emily made her first mistake above when she started teasing Josh about something, but I’m not sure what. Then Josh was pushing the limits by actually touching her face! That’s a big no no (LOL)! And then the war was on. You can tell by the look on Em’s face …
PULLING YOUR HAIR OUT?
Poor Em. was having a BAD day! We’ve all had days when we feel like pulling our hair out. At least you’re good natured about it all (LOL) and quite photogenic as well. Even on your “bad” days, you’re still able to laugh and we really admire that quality in …
EM – VB MVP
Tuesday night, we attended our local homeschool athletic association’s annual awards banquet. I’m not sure why it’s called a “banquet” since it was a dessert event, but that’s beside the point (LOL). This is an event where they recognize all of the teams and players from 5th grade through high …
EM – UNDER THE WEATHER
Our poor sweet Em has been under the weather for a couple of weeks now. Last Friday, I took her to see our friend who is a Dr. and at that time she didn’t have strep throat or an ear infection or anything. He gave her a few things to …
LEARNER’S PERMIT
Earlier this week, Emily went to the DMV to take the written portion of the driver’s license test. She scored 100% on her first try! YIPPEE! We’re so proud of her. YEA! For the next 6 months, I will be a lot more productive because I have a zillion things …
MAGIC CARPET
Nathan decided to try skiing again this year mostly because the resort has replaced the old style tow rope with the new Magic Carpet shown above. From what I hear, it’s WONDERFUL! Perhaps I should even give skiing another try! Our friend Stacie helped Nathan for an hour or so …
FA LA LA LA LA
Emily sings in a small choir of about a dozen girls led by two of our homeschool mom friends. Last night they performed a 45 minute program for a local church’s senior citizen Christmas dinner. Emily was supposed to sing a duet with one of her friends from the choir. …
