My first softball game in 14 years......

I joined our town's women's softball league and our first game was last night--under the lights. We had one bad inning and lost 7-2. The coach put me in left field, right field and second base--it was a lot of fun. Kenny and the kids were there to cheer me on and Kenny was able to get video of one of my at bats:

Our last day of school.......

Today was our last day in My Father's World. The kids still have math, some science and writing assignments but other wise as far as the unit study goes-we're done--yeaaaah. We always try to start in the middle of August so we can end in May. Today we reviewed what they (I) learned this year--starting with the rise of Rome and continuing until the Reformation. I love that the kids (and I) are able to see -clearly- God's hand woven in throughout history because you can't learn HIStory without Him.

Anyway, now I feel like I can get to the "house stuff"' like spring cleaning--I don't know if that gets a yeaah??

Prince Caspian Trailer

This past Friday the kids and Kenny and I went to see Prince Caspian--the movie is based on the book by C.S. Lewis--great movie. As a parent it is so nice to have a movie that the whole family can see. Let's support these types of movies and send a message to those in Hollywood.
