I haven't written in a while, so just a quick update. Today was our last day of CC (classical conversations) for the year. This is a group that we belong to for homeschooling. It's kind-of a co-op thing. Anyway, I love the group so much. I love the accountability, the friendships, the "like mindness", and all the things WE have learned... However, I'm ready for a break. We will continue with "school" year round. Math, reading, reading, writing, and more reading.
I have about six more weeks until I have our fourth baby. So enough time to get things ready for her to come. We are gladly taking name suggestions. We like Tabitha, but none our family does. So after they told us their opinions, he told me we were going to name her Dorcas.
Martie and the boys started tilling the ground for our garden. We planted our seeds in cups over a week ago and it's rained ever since. (praise God) However, we haven't been able to break ground on the garden yet. We moved the garden a little closer in the yard. We are trying to avoid it getting flooded. For some reason everytime we have a garden it rains. (a lot) We were able to make it bigger this year. I'm very excited. We will have to break up the dirt a few more times before we can start planting. Believe it or not the seeds are already coming up, even with all the rain and no sun. We'll see how it goes. I'll post pictures and updates. The garden is so much fun for me and the children. The last garden I left a special row for the children to dig. This kept them from digging up the plants. So here are some pics from our day.
Our future garden, this is after tilling the ground twice. We have great dirt!
My favorite people!!!

You have a beautiful family!!
Heather, I was wondering when you were due! Your graden's soil looks a lot nicer than ours! How do you not have clay? I would love for our families to get together sometime. Maybe we can do a playdate before (or sometime after) the baby is born. I can't believe how big Andrew has gotten!
Love, Laura
I would love to get together. I don't know where the clay is in our garden. We are truly blessed with great dirt. I am still going to mix in some extra dirt. Just to dry it out a bit. Our back yard collects so much water. I'm glad you met my friend I was telling you about. She is so sweet, and was so happy to meet you. Let me know about a playdate. I'm up for anytime.
Heather, I love the pictures of the family....get Martie to take some with you next time. Hope you are doing well and we can't wait to greet you little girl. Love ya !
