Not Just Rocks Anymore (September 6, 2008)
The side of our house by the walkway has always been rock. Henry didn’t think there was enough soil there when we moved to successfully plant anything. This year, he decided that he wanted to give it a go. We had a good time planting. The boys did, too. S was the compost man. T…

My Problems (August 20, 2008)
There are some problems I face on a daily basis. How am I going to keep up with the laundry and ensure that the sofa isn’t covered with the ironing pile when my husband gets home? Should I just wash the dishes myself or continue training T on that task, while developing my patience? Should…

School Planning Has Begun (August 9, 2008)
The new-fangled homeschoolers (admittedly, I am one) have no idea about lesson planning. We think we can start two weeks before school and be ready to go. But that’s not the case! The brick-n-mortar educator heads back to school about a month before classes start to get the room clean, organized, and filled with anticipation…

3927.4 (July 12, 2008)
That’s the number of miles put on the car for this adventure. Praise God we’re home safely, with another child to boot! (nephew for the week) We’re about 85% unpacked. We’ll post the remaining days of the journey tomorrow and Monday. Good night.

Atlanta Traffic (July 11, 2008)
We survived it. And I never want to drive in it again. Atlanta is definitely the city for public transportation. We left Augusta much later than originally planned, but it was for a worthy cause. Henry was able to spend some quality time with some of our nieces. He slept in and I think that…

The Creation Museum…FABULOUS! (July 10, 2008)
If you have yet to make a vacation plan for your family this year, I highly recommend the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky. Right outside of Cincinnati, this place is…it is…well, you just have to go. Talks and workshops and fun and a petting zoo and botanical garden (so serene) and friendly. T loved the…

My Nutty Nieces (July 10, 2008)
How easy is it to get 7 nieces to pose for a picture? Look at the number of my nutty nieces in the following pic While I didn’t get tons of pictures, I was able to spend a few minutes with each of them. Tracy and Stacy sat with me to learn to crochet. I…

The Probability, Part 2 (July 9, 2008)
So what would be the probability of significant events occurring on the same date over the course of several years? I’d be curious to hear the Kennedys answer to that. And if you would have asked my extended family that question 6 years ago, they’d probably have answered in the single-digit percentages. But then 2003…

They Won’t Post (July 9, 2008)
The boys were SO excited about blogging themselves before the trip. Somewhere along the way, they decided that living the adventure was more exciting that writing about it. So if you’re wondering why it’s all me, that’s why. And Henry says he doesn’t know where to start, so he’s not posting either. You all are…

The Birthday Party (July 9, 2008)
Henry’s birthday was a humble but fun celebration. He got celebratory singing, a John Deere cake with butter pecan ice cream (nummy!), and a can of boiled peanuts!! The picture is of him working to read his card from J. It was a card of Barack Obama that was set to the tune of the…

The Probability, Part 1 (July 8, 2008)
Do you recall the probability and permutations part of math class? I didn’t like that part. You know why? Because it just made the possibility of my being singled out seem so impossible. The good news is that Jesus Christ would have gone to the cross to pay for my sins if I were the…

Happy Birthday Henry! (July 6, 2008)
Yup, July 6th, a day of significance to the extended Pressley family is also the date of my husband’s birth. I’m going to put a picture from his party in here. Unfortunately, I am wiped tired, so I’ll post it tomorrow. For now, I must sleep. We spent the whole day at church, eating, playing,…
