We awaited the week with our blocks, and today we’d uncover the true meaning of EASTER.
Indeed. Yes. We have new beginnings. New hopes. New perspectives.
Later on, we went all Easter bunny, and looked for eggs. Jesus would have done the same, right?
Keep looking! There might be a fancy egg to find!?
And that will get you some new books! Plus some that you wanted from Ted Dekker: Millie Maven .
Later mom came over and we enjoyed some delightful food!
Table adorned with PEEPS (peeping out of the baskets)! Eggs, sausage, and my special sugar free gluten free carrot cake!
Such a nice day. I love how mellow it was.
BTW, we went to church on Saturday since they offered services that day. It is usually way too busy, and we wanted to make room for the CEO’s (Christmas and Easter Only crowd) LOL
This flower planted by my HHH gives me such goosebumps! It’s a reminder of the love I have for my mom…timeless, budding, and deep. (it also is yellow as she is my friend too!)
Tatum, Mama, and Doug played a game (joyfully I might add) while I cooked and got all of the goodies ready.
I had the table all ready for our time together.
Tatum made her a fun card!
And we just spent the evening enjoying each other. Mom, you get younger every year! We love you!
Today was a truly God-answering-and-we-see-Him-moving day.
You see, when we first started this Homeschool journey, only a few weeks ago, we had no idea what it would look like. I was a bit overwhelmed, and I had no idea what this would like this year, let alone next year.
Enter in friends from SBC. I asked around, spread my blanket out, and networked like crazy to find out resources, groups, or anything to know and learn. I obtained about five group names and started sending emails.
Step One: Eastside Explorers. What a blessing this was! We instantly connected with the group and signed up for book club, park days, and Marketplace. It’s been such a blessing.
Step Two: CoYoTe. Wow. Little did I know how many people I’d know in this group already! Also, they had next to ZERO openings for next year, but they made room for us if we wanted to join. First, we needed to shadow for a day.
Today, we visited the group, and I couldn’t help but WEEP the whole time. It was like walking into family. What school should be. Jesus, Learning, Kindness, Challenging, Loving, and more LOVE LOVE LOVE grounded in HIM. The leader is someone I knew through Tatum already as she has kids in choir at SBC. ALL of their students were so kind, and they all graduate early or are way ahead their grade level.
For the first time, I see God truly making this completely CLEAR IS A BELL that we are in the right place, and we are making the RIGHT decision. There’s more to learn, but I see that GOD’S PLAN is never wrong. HE IS NEVER LATE…NEVER EARLY.
Tatum was beaming today, looking forward to true friendships (and awesome learning).
