"A university [or homeschool] is an alma mater, knowing her children one by one, not a foundry, or a mint, or a treadmill." John Cardinal Newman

The Weekend
This was a really fun, unusual weekend for our family. Through a friend we heard about a 4 year old, purebred Siberian Husky that needed a family. Before we knew it, Snowball (we're changing his name to Balto) had joined our family! He is a calm and gentle dog who reminds me of a great big polar bear! We have wanted a dog for many years and, since offers like this one don't come around every day, we jumped at the opportunity. The kids have fallen in love with him, and he has already brought a lot of fun to our family. We asked Baby Boy if he liked our new dog. He answered, "No, I YUUUUUUUUV him!!!"
Yesterday was Father's Day. I couldn't help but reminisce over the past decade. Ten years ago Stephen and I hadn't even met, and here we find ourselves sitting around the table with four precious children (and a massive dog!) in our very own home. I am so thankful for Stephen and the life we share. I love replaying the memories we've made - from our initial meeting, our whirlwind romance, the birth of our babies, the move to our first home... These have been the best years of my life!
I'd like to take a little trip down memory lane and share some pictures from our parenting adventure...
