I am so grateful that I was able to homeschool all three of my kids all the way through High School. It gave us lots of together time and made us very close. Now that they are all grown up and having children of their own, I am reminded that even though my time as a mother of small children may be gone, my days of being the grandmother of small children is just beginning! I have two new grandbabies coming this October! Great post, Joanne…hugs and God bless.

Ashley, what a fun picture you paint and boy oh boy but we can relate to that! Sounds like you and the girls have been having some fun. 🙂 I love to hear how you are making special memories with your girls. They will remember them and look back with such fondness. <3

Hugs!

Oh, Beth, what a beautiful reminder. Yes, they really do grow into the people God intended them to be! One of the reasons why I’m so thankful I get to spend my days with them, working on the fruits of the spirit in our lives and watching the way they exude God’s love and grace already at such a young age. It is such an amazing thing to watch! I can tell by your family updates on facebook how you cherish one another. It is so wonderful!

Andrea,

I’m so glad it gave you that glimpse. 🙂 It’s such a big part of my life, these kids. I’m so blessed to have them around every day and couldn’t imagine t any other way. It really can be a challenge to give them mommy time during the busy seasons. One of the reasons I write mainly at night. During a typical round of revisions, my office hours are 8pm -midnight. I’m awful tired, but it gives us that extra time together 🙂 Thanks for your sweet comment!

Beth,

That’s BEAUTIFUL.

<3 thanks for sharing your heart… and your stories…

Ashley

We still have “surprise” garden seedlings popping up — green beans where the nasturtiums were supposed to be, morning glories where the tomatoes were supposed to sprout. And poppies, poppies everywhere.

One thing we do is collect the seeds. My girls love to hunt for the big nasturtium beans after the flowers fade. We keep them all in bags for next year’s planting.

Happiness this year? now that Ray is almost 10 and E is closing in on 8? They go seed hunting on their own. Call me out to show me their harvest.

Enjoy each moment!!!!!!!

~Ashley
