The Kids Rooms

Well we are in the process of painting the little girls room. We have all the furniture in the living room and we moved our bed and dressers into what was the nursery room.  We were not sure all our furniture would fit in the smaller room with our King sized bed but it does fit and it's really not too tight.  Our room is cozy and so comfy.  So we are getting the room ready for when Talia and Tobias come home. For the first few weeks Tobias will sleep in the room with Talia and myself and J****.  The plan is to get Tobias moved in with Zachary but first we need to get everyone acquainted and used to the new family feel.  We will just take it one day at a time and eventually it will all be sorted out.  I plan to move back into my room as well but since Talia is used to having a bed buddy and we will need to establish bed time rules it will be best for me to be in there with them. I will post pictures of the *during* and *after*.  I am excited to see this project finished.


We are looking forward with much anticipation the big 4th of July cookout. I am hoping the big kids will come with the grands! I want pics of all the kids in the Red, White and Blue! I am also teaching my kids the pledge of allegiance (I am disgusted to report that they have not already learned it at school...  which is another post).  We are studying a different subjects each week. Nothing real structured. Just us learning about what we like. Last week was Western week with cow boys and horses and western movies which teach honor and courage. This week is American Indian week. I am reading them Hiawatha (child hood section). We are also going to make a trip to Fort Boonesboro and make a little Indian village and Fort. Next week is AMERICA! We will learn about the flag and our Anthem. I plan to instill some USA pride in these kids! We have two sons in the military and our kids need to know what that means. I wish now we had concentrated more on our Great Nation while home schooling our older kids.  If you can't tell I am feeling the Home School pull very strong! I want my children educated. I want them to know the truth. Not what is pushed by the media or the school system these days. It is ridiculous! (make me stop...)

 *** I am feeling much better after prayer and attitude adjustment.  (see my last post...) I KNOW in my heart that GOD is bigger than any timeline. GOD is in control. No person (Judge, Minister or scheduling person)  can thwart GOD or HIS will. There is a reason and I don't know what it is but I TRUST God and His ways and His timing. So I set myself to be patient. I have cast this care upon Him and He is driving this adoption. I just need to relax and ride.
