10 on Tuesday

1. Macy is doing a tremendous job being a big girl and using the potty!


2. It was just me and Silas this evening while Grandma had Macy, Grandpa had the big boys and Josh had Myah. I had no idea a balloon would entertain him for almost an hour. LOVE that little boy!


3. We purchased a 12 passenger van this past week. I am loving it and getting the hang of driving it. Road trip, here we come! (Sorry no pic.)

4. I am super worn out. I am so discouraged at times b/c I WANT to do so much but my body won't let me do much of anything. I'm usually not a big pregnancy whiner but I"m telling ya...#6 is taking its toll.

5. We are trucking right along with homeschooling. I am not your typical homeschooling mama. I don't really enjoy it to be quite honest but I am convinced its the right thing for our family and pray God will help me in this area b/c I have a feeling my lack of zeal for it is rubbing off on my boys. (If you must comment on this issue please be encouraging)

6. So...just as I finished typing that last tab, I look over and see a teaching series called "Encouragement for the Homeschooling Family". Hm, maybe a hint I suppose. Maybe instead of watching something on netflix as I do my 20 billion loads of laundry tomorrow, I should listen to these CD's.

7. I am super excited about the growth I am seeing in my husband and feel so blessed to be his helpmeet. He is indescribable! I love that man!


8. Greyson makes me one proud mama. I know he tries to please me though I don't always do a good job of showing my appreciation. He is working hard at school and piano and of course soccer. He is one busy boy and a tremendous blessing!


9. Samuel..I'm proud of him too and love him to pieces but to be quite honest, he's been a booger lately. We're working on that. He told me on Sunday to never sign him up for soccer again because it's too hard. REALLY battling laziness with him. On a more positive note...he is starting school very very soon! I don't know when since I'm not 100% organized right now but, SOON! Hopefully this will really help the laziness issue. He pulled out his own tooth the other day...brave lil guy!


10. Hmmm...our newest blessing is constantly poking, kicking, rolling, etc. While it is painful at times, I don't take it for granted. I am so blessed! Can't wait to meet him/her.

When are you due? Hang in there....homeschooling takes a while to get the swing of. I only have two kids! I don't know how you ladies do it with babies and toddlers. Hope you have a great weekend.
