Chemistry Experiment...

Today in Chemistry class we had an experiment to see what reaction would take place when we add vinegar to baking soda. Brendan was so excited, he said that he always wanted to try doing this experiment. I am glad that I didn't try to get out of doing this one, because their reactions were fantastic. It is days like this one that make homeschooling so rewarding.

Dinner with Virgil, Patsy and Becky....

Virgil and Justin duel with swords.

Virgil plays the piano with a little help from Katie...

Virgil, Patsy and Becky came to our house last night for dinner on their way to Pennsylvania. We had such a wonderful visit with them. The kids were so well behaved and even though they hadn't seen them since last May, they quickly warmed up. It was nice to see them climb all over Becky, who didn't seem to mind. Virgil and Justin are still good wrestling buddies, although now they have added swords to it. All in all, it was a great evening, good food and good friends.
This morning we all got up really early to meet with them at their hotel for breakfast and have a little more time to visit. When we woke up there was snow on the ground and a blizzard. Katie said that was because we ate a Blizzard at Dairy Queen. She has a great way of thinking about things. Hopefully the snow will not stick and will melt quickly. We hope that our buddies have a safe drive and make it to their next destination on time...

A Bright and Sunny Day.....

I guess we haven't been taking many pictures around here, thus no new posts. I still don't have any pictures. We are all fine, enjoying some sunlight. While the temperature is still cool, 41 right now, atleast the snow has melted. I know from past experience that we will probably have more snow and cooler temps, but I am still optimistically awaiting spring! I hope that all of our friends all over the country have some sunlight and hints of spring. We miss you all, it is a great comfort to know that you are all there.

I have started a new blog, more of a devotional sight to share bible readings that the Lord has been using in our lives. I hope that it can be helpful, I have been feeling like I need to do this for my own accountability and as a way to share more of my faith. If you are interested it is:
