We had a great weekend. The 'kids' arrived on Friday evening. We mostly talked, ate, watched movies, looked at books, and went to church together. I loved every minute of it. Our son and the boys went sledding and snowboarding on our hill.
The room above used to be our school room, so I still call it that, although the little boys insist that it's 'the library.' I'll have to try to remember that 'it's the library!' (although we seem to have bookshelves scattered throughout the house.)
This little guy is such a snuggly, sweet kid! Good grief, I just couldn't get enough of his enthusiastic hugs. He knows how to turn on the charm! I loved it when he snuggled up next to me on the sofa while we watched Stone of Destiny.
I love those smiles.
All were here except for the oldest sister. Unfortunately (but actually, fortunately) she has a job at Caribou Coffee, so she was unable to be here at this time. Hopefully, we'll get to see her soon.
Mom and Dad will be attending a homeschool convention in May, so we'll get to have the kids here during that time. I look forward to it, and the weather should be nicer. (The weather better be nicer!) Our snow should be gone and replaced by GREEN GRASS. I can't wait!!
Lights out.
P.S. I would have another picture of the older brother, but seriously, there's not a single photo in which he's not making a face. We all know what 9 year old boys are like, right? :-)
Thanks for indulging me and looking at the photos of the grandkids.
Hope you have a great Monday!

ReplyDeleteSweet family pics! Homeschooling ROCKS! I only have a year and a half left schooling with my daughter :( Time flies.
ReplyDeleteI love that they love the library and that your home is filled with books. I nearly tripped over books by my bed today but that is not really a bad thing:}
ReplyDeleteSuch a great time! Love the "library room".

ReplyDeleteGood Monday morning, Judy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious family you have...and just look at all those sweet young faces.
So many families are homeschooling. Our church is filled with HS families. Our little 7 week old grandson's Mommy and Daddy are already making plans for his homeschooling. My DIL was a homeschooler.
Have a restful week, my friend.
Blessings,
