We've been enjoying a special dinner together as a family on Friday nights.

A picture of Kacey
Okay, Grandmothers, I know you're dying for a picture of Kacey. I've been playing with my digital camera this morning. It's a little Zina Mini Cam, small enough to put on my keychain. (My kids know how to use it better than I do! But I'm learning.) Here is a picture I took of Kacey. I think ... Read More about A picture of Kacey
Headcoverings

Spelling that has helped my daughter…
I really like the Bible-based spelling lessons I found for free on the Internet. My oldest daughter spells very phonetically... you know... fonetikly. :-) But for some reason, this spelling has helped her. It's not fancy, but I like how it combines dictation with old-fashioned review. I also ... Read More about Spelling that has helped my daughter…
