I love these pictures because they show some of Chloe’s personality! Chloe’ can make you smile even when everything is falling apart and you just want to cry. She has mindfully sought to gain the gift of charity and has definitely been blessed with it. Chloe’ is fun, funny, laughs at herself, smart, talented and…
Months ago we bought supplies to make pancake art. Nathan is amazing at art so I figured this was right up his alley. So we finally stirred up all the colors and made pancake art! We were a little wise though and did it for dinner rather than breakfast. Pancakes for eleven people takes a…
I am very excited to announce that Brooklynn moved on to the next round in her micro fiction challenge. There were over 60 groups of 100 submissions and the top 20 of each group moved on. Brooklynn not only moved on but actually placed NINTH out of 100!! It was about 11:30 pm and we…

Book 5 is called The Black Circle. It felt really small compared to previous books but it was great! Amy and Dan head to Russia for this part of the clue hunt. For this book, we did a lot of research and watching videos instead of major hands on activities. It’s funny because I made…
I mentioned that Brooklynn participated in a writing competition on her birthday. She won’t know any results until the end of June but I am able to share what she wrote. This is round one in a micro fiction contest. She was given a category, an action and a particular word that had to be…
