I love Fall! I love everything about it. I adore the changing leaves, falling tempatures, life slowing down from a busy summer…

Today I baked 2 loaves of Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. It was scrumptious.

Now to just find my apples for homemade applesauce.:)

God is so good.

Yes there are so many more photos of Mia. But she is the new baby… So bare with me.;)

Mia is now sleeping in a toddler bed beside my bed. We hold hands until she falls asleep, but she is doing so well for only being home 3 months.
We had a rough few weeks and found out she had some abcesses in her teeth. I asked them to please move up her surgery and they can’t because she is taking up 3 slots for surgery since her teeth are so bad.:( soo..she has been on antibiotic and is feeling better.

Paul and Blake…. I enjoyed spending time with the boys while Chloe and Kenny were in Mexico and Camye was away at camp. They are such blessings!!

We have been to Chuck E Cheese a few times since Mia coming home. Mia loves Chucke and follows him around looking for a hug. She loves riding all the kiddie rides!

Mia snuggling with her little Pororo toy. She still loves her Pororo.

Mia and Mommy!! Mia being silly!!

About 2 weeks, Mia had an appointment with the Genetics dept at Children’s Hospital. She had to have blood work and it was not.fun! She.screamed.and.screamed.

The blessing of going to the Genetists, other than he confirmed what we have believed from the beginning..that.nothing.is.wrong!;)

But we met an awesome Korean family, the Kim’s. Mrs.Kim teaches Korean in Pittsburgh and wants us to come to Korean school! I am so excited to do this and hope to do this Fall.:)

Mia….I mean Blake got a Go-Kart…. And guess who loves to be pushed around all the time!:):)

And yes still loving every minute of it…We were soooo ready to start school. I need structure!!!! So today, I got up bathed, dressed (don’t pass out…yes dressed), Mia bathed and dressed, got the older 4 kids up, fixed breakfast, chili in the crock pot for supper, assigned school, recorded school, graded papers, 4 loads of laundry, cleaned the bathroom….and then Off to soccer. All going well..other than Mia had a tummy ache and threw up as soon as we got to soccer.:( so we sat inside the van the rest of the time..came home and threw up again among other things.:( so my little Seoul Sister is a sicky chicky.

Back to school…since the day obviously is a sign of normalcy

Camye is starting the 5th grade this year. we are using an assortment of curriculum. If you want me to list, please ask away.

Mia Grace was right in the middle of things helping me grade papers. She did a little tot school as well.

Chloe is too cool for the kitchen table, no really she just prefers to work alone with little noise. She is starting 10 grAde.

Blake is in the 7th grade and is doing math in bed…. Shocking yes we do math anywhere we wAnt… Sometimes in the bathroom!!

Paul is in the 1st grade is learning to read!! Isn’t he adorable??

I am so thankful for the Lord allowing us to homeschool these blessings.

Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6

This afternoon was rainy, dark and dreary. The kids were watching a movie and Mia chose from her bags of fun. The bag she was her blocks that she can string. About 3 weeks ago, she would only build these blocks. I would show her how to string them but she wanted to build them..end of story. 🙂

Today she pulled them out and started stringing one right after the other.:)

Yet another milestone…Mia watched television for about 10 minutes yes…it is the first time since coming home.
