About Us ...

We are a large, homeschooling family. We are far from perfect, but by God's grace we continue to plug along and enjoy the life He has given us, the ups and the downs. Every day is an adventure with this houseful!

Our Crew, May 2010


Sir Joseph. (15 mos) He is just way to cute for only one picture. The one on the left shows him with a stash of granola bars he was quite pleased to find and haul around! He was not so happy when mom confiscated them. (Yes, he did get one) The picture to the right is Joe having his 'breakfast' one morning. A sister stuck him on the counter to keep him out of the way and gave him a cookie. He was quite a happy camper. (Looks like I need to work on a good picture of him smiling)
I just love this picture. Caleb is my 'fixer-man' Here he is working one one of his (Joey's?) toys. Fixing to his hearts content. You can tell how intense he is with his task due to how far out the tongue is sticking. He loves to wear hats of any kind, and as this picture shows, he does not wear pants almost all the time now. A year ago I was wondering when we would make it over that hurdle.

This is Rebekah with her friend for a day, Elise. Elise's mom and dad travel around doing concerts (her mom plays the harp) After a Sunday AM concert, during which Elise sat with us, Beka was able to invite Elise over for the afternoon and than to attend AWANA with her in the evening. They had a great time and were fun to watch.
They were also very excited to discover they were born the same month & year.

(This was actually in April, but too cute not to share somewhere)

Our mowing boy. Seth loves to mow, we are hoping this is a love that lasts a long time! The weather has not been conducive to a lot of mowing so far this year, but when he can he is out there. Never a lack of grass to mow here at Hodgepodge Acres!

Yup, another driver in the making at our house. Good job Abbs, and just ignore mom when she taps her leg.... It is nothing personal!
Amelia dressed in Regency costume. She had a great time going with a few friends and help demonstrate ECD at a homeschool 'round-up' in Salem.
Charlyn and her car! After MUCH looking the right one was found. She has enjoyed it very much. Esp at the gas pump after months of using 'the truck' and/or Suburban. (or Scuburban as Caleb would say!)

Nicole was counseled to pray more specifically. So upon graduating Ecola her prayer was to have a vehicle within a week. That weekend 'Uncle Greg' loaned her this truck! She is very happy with her little truck and is now working hard to make it her own.
