Work Day!

Yesterday we took the boys to work around Grandma Carolla's property. My boys worked hard and I was proud.

J.R. really got into his job. I know the walking back and forth on uneven terrain was good for his legs.



Here is Jud dreaming about working with the big boys someday! :) I enjoyed visiting with Carolla and chasing Judson. He is a busy little guy...into everything!

I was glad the boys had a chance to work off some of their energy and use their muscles again. We do miss our home in Centralia...a place never lacking in outdoor chores for the boys. :) Our rental is very nice, but there is nothing for the boys to do here. (No garden to weed, no firewood to stack, no pinecones or rocks to pick up.) We are excited to get our Centralia home sold and invest ourselves into a place here. Probably with any move there are mixed emotions. Our new church family has been so loving and supportive, but it is always hard to leave friends behind. I have yet to meet another homeschool family in this county. We pray that the Lord will introduce us to other families that we can have fellowship with and even join up with for a few field trips. We know the Lord is in this move and will take care of us. This may sound a little trite, but at least we have each other.

It's not trite to say that at least you have each other....when you are a whole small town on your own. :)

And I do hope you get to know some other home-schooled families. I know that's a big deal!

I know Albany is a long distance from Woodburn, but we have some family friends there that do homeschooling. http://mthopeacademy.blogspot.com/ Her name is Heidi and she is really cool. I hope you guys are liking Woodburn! I know mom is happy she can see you more often. :)
