Alice in Wonderland!

at 02/09/10 12:57PM

Well, I have been very busy...as you can tell by the lack of posts!

Our homeschool drama production is this week. Our first production was last night, and we have another one tonight! It is great working with these young people. I really enjoy being the director. All of my children were born naturally DRAMATIC! Alice in Wonderland has proved to be a very enjoyable play. Wish you all could attend.

I wish we could see it, too! So glad that you're enjoying the fruits of your labor.

Hope all goes well tonight, too. Wish I could see it. I ran into your parents at Mas Amigos while ago.

by joc at 02/09/10 4:59PM
YOU KNOW, if we could be there WE WOULD!!! Next time you must have it on a Thurs. and Frid. (I know you don't have control of that, but I thought I'd tell you anyway! ha)

LOVEYA!

Y'all should go on tour, and come to Lufkin, or Huntington. probably Lufkin.

by tiny_tim at 02/09/10 7:23PM
I bet that is a fun play.

Sorry ,I have not replied sooner , I don't get on pleo very often. I was wondering from what you said, does Ed not attend where you do anymore? As for Kim, she was sending me little notes (of a social nature) every now and then. When I plainly stated that because we love her we could not pretend everything was unchanged she completely cut us off. She had even written that her and the man she was living with were going to be in Huntsville , wanting to go to lunch.... It still breaks my heart when I dwell too long on the friend I lost. I won't stop hoping and praying she will come to her senses.

Add me to the list of people who would love to be there. Of course, I would cry. I'm mostly unemotional, but kids on stage makes me cry faster than anything else. I love their performances more than I do the professional ones.

Great!! See you there!!!

Busy Holiday Season

at 01/06/10 12:51PM *

We have had an extremely busy holiday season.

*Giftmas at my parents house in Liberty, TX, 12/12. (That was an event, in and of itself... An aging house, hurricanes, and aging occupants are not conducive to keeping a house in working order. Having construction workers in the house working on a bathroom and a kitchen sink, with a housefull of people, adds to the memories!) We took the little boy, Alex, that we have been keeping since he was 4 weeks old. He is now 3.

*Have sporatic illnesses...and the kids go to Mississippi with their biological father for Christmas, 12/24 (minus Brandon who had to work and Rebekah who had Strep Throat.)

*Kids came home early from MS, so we had our Giftmas early on 12/26. Then Giftmas with in-laws on 12/28.

*Several movie visits to see...New Moon, A Christmas Carol, Alvin and the Chipmunks 2, etc.

*Making Chex Mix, Choc. covered Pretzels, Cookies, and other goodies to eat and to GIVE!

*New Years Eve with some great people from our local congregation... Ashley going to TN for a visit.

*College Football

*Finally, and reluctantly back to school...

Still to come: Trying to plan a trip for Brandon and Ashley to FC's Falcon Days. Trying to find Scholarship money to get them to FC in the Fall. Trying to finish up their Sr. year of homeschooling *sniff-sniff*

FORGOT TO ADD: MY OLDEST CHILD, AND ONLY BOY TURNED 18 ON DEC. 18!!!

It doesn't seem possible that you have children old enough for college.

by deputyheadmistress at 01/06/10 3:14PM
Are they going to Falcon Days in Febuary?

by juliamiriam at 01/06/10 3:18PM
Hope you're feeling better. We're still lovin' our Keurig! It was a big hit over the holidays, as our son loves stronger coffee than we do. He hit the button first thing every morning. Luckily, we'd ordered some stuff we don't like... he loved it! Hope you're getting to stay under the covers with a big mug of hot chocolate that your family makes for you 'cause you're sick.~smile~

by herb_lady43 at 01/06/10 4:26PM
How did that happen! The brand name above now has underlining and a popup! I did NOT do that!

by herb_lady43 at 01/06/10 4:28PM
Wow. Time goes by so quickly...I am going through changes with mine, too!

by schmidtkins at 01/07/10 7:35AM
I'm with you on the college money search! And, we'll see your two at Falcon Days!! We can't wait!
Glad you had a fun time!! Julia wants to make choc. covered pretzels now ;) after reading this...

by stylinmama at 01/16/10 10:30AM
Thanks, Laurie! Did I ever tell you I LOVED the picture you all sent. It was just beautiful!!

by sallyanne at 01/22/10 1:14AM
Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I don't check my pleo often anymore. Yes I am who you thought. I remember meeting you too. The connections in all our lives are amazing things.

by malissa at 01/25/10 5:39PM
Oh you know...take this kid here and this kid here...etc. etc. Too many kids! :)

by phyllisophical_mom at 01/25/10 9:43PM
WOW!!!

How cool is this?

You are too sweet!!

by phyllisophical_mom at 01/30/10 11:03AM
Thanks so much, Lauri, for helping me out. She and I are are both happy now. Notice her above message is exactly the Pleonast Gold color. She is something, isn't she? I know you all enjoyed being together this weekend.

THANKSGIVING

at 11/24/09 11:33PM

I want to wish everyone a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

I have so many things to be thankful for...the Lord has truly blessed my family. My beautiful children are all with me at my parents house. My husband is sitting beside me as we relax after the drive and shopping for Thanksgiving dinner with my mom. My parents are still holding their own, which is a blessing when you are 75 and 79. More family will be in tomorrow...including all 3 of my brothers and most of their families. These times are so precious to me.

Time is rushing along with my 2 oldest children. Their senior year seems to be flying. Why can't it slow down just a little so we can savor these times? It seems the more I want things to slow down, the busier we get, and time just flies! These years with my babies have gone so fast! What great blessings they are!

Here's to hoping your Thanksgiving is as fruitful as mine!!!

Lovely blog. Time is flying by...you are so right.
I was snuggling Josh-who-has-an-icky-cough and Jonathan said, "Golden. Before you know it you'll be filling out his college application."

Have a wonderful time with your family!

It was very good to see you and your wonderful family. And today, it was good to see Stanley.

by joc at 11/29/09 10:48PM

by sharon at 12/04/09 6:19PM
Are your two oldest twins? Or just close in birthday years?

by iloveponds at 12/05/09 6:04PM
Thank you for the Christmas card! We all loved it!

Are you guys doing Falcon Days in February?

by sallyanne at 11/18/09 4:45PM
^Dude, I was totally gonna ask that!

by _fire_of_fantasy_ at 11/18/09 4:55PM
Yeah, are you? (Enquiring minds want to know!)

Another Teenager in the House...

at 10/18/09 12:01AM

and that makes 4! Yes, I now have 4 teenagers! Kendra is 13 today! Where has the time gone? It seems like yesterday she was my mama's girl (and VERY much so!) She has always been attached to me. She also has a tender heart, and a heart of service to others. (Her siblings are the only ones who bring out the "wrong" side of Kendra! LOL) So, as you can see, things are just rolling along here.

We didn't get to do much for her birthday today because of unexpected guests and a soccer tournament. I hope to get in a few surprises for her special birthday on Monday. I will keep you updated... I did surprise her tonight with a Facebook.

Wow, I have THREE... FOUR!!!!!

by schmidtkins at 10/19/09 6:28AM
My mother had 3 teenage boys at once, but they were that age after I left home to marry. What I remember is that you could almost never get them filled up! And she had two younger girls as well. Four must be lots of fun!!! You are blessed.

by joc at 10/19/09 9:40AM
Congratulations!!!

I had four teens at once, too. I was so sad that Nicole turned twenty before Rebecca turned 13 so I couldn't have five of 'em.=)

by deputyheadmistress at 10/20/09 1:07AM
Happy Birthday to Kendra. You've got something I'll never have -- besides a house full of girls -- 4 teenagers at once. We're at our height of teenagers around here -- 3.

by didow at 10/20/09 7:47AM
Hello!! Wish you were here to hang out with me! (when Yvonne is busy!) The Rich-tone chorus is in the TOP TEN. They perform 5th on Sat. and the results will be after 9:00 p.m People are pretty hyper around here! ha

by phyllisophical_mom at 10/22/09 9:15PM
We had 4 teenagers in our family only from January to September.... Phyllis turned 13 in January, and I turned 20 the following September. What Dad found difficult is that a few years before, when I started college, all four of us were in different schools.... and Dad did most of the driving! Funny how we got another car soon after that.

(Thanks for your congratulations! We expended so much energy in Nashville, at least a fourth of us came home sick. At least 4 of us couldn't even sing on stage Saturday)

by herb_lady43 at 10/29/09 10:50AM
Happy Birthday!

by didow at 10/30/09 9:46AM
Your daughter said it was your birthday, so wishing you the best!

I talked to your dad today. Hope his cataract surgery goes well. I had forgotten about y'all's trip.

I'll have to try the greek pork chops one before I will post it. I'll post the rib one for sure, both if the other one turns out. Sometimes I just get lazy and don't want to type it all in!!

by homeschoolmomma23 at 11/01/09 7:04AM
The more kids the harder to keep up with getting gifts. ahhhhh!

by sharon at 11/01/09 3:47PM
Happy Birthday!!

by sallyanne at 11/01/09 10:48PM
Belated happy birthday! Your dad sounds like he is doing o.k.
He said he had the surgery Monday and went to the dentist since
then.

by joc at 11/05/09 1:07PM
Nope, that's just the time I'm supposed to get off the computer. ;P
