I haven’t blogged much this month. One of the downsides to using my iPhone constantly is that I hardly ever get on my laptop anymore. I can email and Facebook from my iPhone, but I haven’t really figured out how to blog from it yet.
We are settling into Little Rock. It seems a little easier [...]

Overheard conversation between Caleb and Elizabeth:
“Hey, Dude.”
“I’m not a dude. If I’m a dude, where’s my mustache?”
“Not all dudes have mustaches.”

Caleb, my oldest “baby,” went to sleep-away camp with a church group for the first time last week. They went to Alabama for four nights, which meant there was no way he could come home even if he wanted to.

I’m not sure what I expected from this homeschooling experiment of the last semester, but I certainly thought it would be temporary. I [...]

Elizabeth asked Caleb for help with her geography lesson today. The topic was “community helpers.”
Elizabeth: I have to write a sentence about what my mom does. What does mom do? Is she a teacher?Caleb: No, she’s a homewrecker.Me: Do you mean homemaker?Caleb: Yeah. Or you could say [...]

Today, I was helping Elizabeth with her Bible story lesson, when I noticed she had left one of the items from her assignment blank. She was supposed to pick out ways to be a good helper in church out of a provided list. One of the items she left blank was “help a [...]
