Christopher

It pays to homeschool!

September 29, 2011 by Kathy 4 Comments

So I don’t miss moments like this… Christopher was sitting at the table, working on his math lesson, when he put his pencil down, looked at me like he had been really pondering something special, and then said — “Ya know, Mom, if I had a pet dung beetle, I’d think Sisyphus would be a … [Read more…]

Life with a Toddler

August 31, 2011 by Kathy 1 Comment

Christopher was frustrated yesterday because he couldn’t find the book he needed to do his Religion assignment. “Mom! Have you seen my Baltimore Catechism?”“It’s on the shelf with the others.”“No it’s not! I’ve been looking everywhere for it and I can’t find it!”“Did you look on any other shelves?”“Yes! AND I looked in the living … [Read more…]

Weekend Wrap Up

April 17, 2011 by Kathy Leave a Comment

I wasn’t expecting to be able to blog much after Wednesday. My son Christopher had a birthday this weekend… AND we’re still sick after what? Four weeks?… so I gave myself permission to not write anything until Sunday. 1. First, I want to wish my son a very, very happy birthday. I am so thankful … [Read more…]

What Does Love in Action Look Like?

September 8, 2010 by Kathy 3 Comments

Sunday night we had the chance to go to a free fair held by one of the local churches. Since it advertised “free hot air balloon rides,” I felt obligated to go. You see, Reilly’s dream has been to go up in a hot air balloon. We got there after supper and stood in line … [Read more…]

Into the home stretch

May 3, 2010 by Kathy 8 Comments

I hope you’ll bear with me. I’m into the last two weeks of school, and getting Christopher ready for his First Holy Communion, so blogging is rather light right now. I will say, though, that Christopher is SO excited about this weekend! Other than his baptism, this is the biggest day of his life, and … [Read more…]

Another Christopher-ism

January 11, 2010 by Kathy 2 Comments

[While teaching Christopher and Thomas about The Prodigal Son] Me: “And so the younger son spent all his money, and he became very poor. Eventually, he found a job herding pigs…” Christopher: [totally shocked] “You mean you can actually get a job HURTING pigs?” Just another reason why I homeschool, folks… I would hate to … [Read more…]

Can I brag on my husband a minute?

December 6, 2009 by Kathy 1 Comment

‘Cause seriously, I need to. This man deserves SERIOUS accolades. Remember how we’ve been doing that whole “keeping the Sabbath day holy” thing by getting all our work done on Saturday? And how Saturday has turned into a somewhat frantic dash at times to get all the stuff done (so I won’t go nuts on … [Read more…]

Did we live through the same day?

November 12, 2009 by Kathy 2 Comments

Sometimes I wonder if my children and I are living through the same day. For example, I got up this morning to the sound of my daughter crying. It was obvious that she wasn’t feeling well. I carried her around for the first few minutes of the day, trying to get breakfast served and take … [Read more…]

Can I have a do-over?

July 13, 2009 by Kathy 6 Comments

Ever wish life had a reset button? A do-over option? Right now, I wish mine did. Go back to 6:50 p.m. Dinner was late and I was trying to get the last load of laundry folded before calling the kids in for supper. Thomas came in, twinkling as always. “Mommy! Where are the wrenches?”“What on … [Read more…]

There he goes

May 14, 2009 by Kathy 2 Comments

There’s my sweet little guy (Thomas, on the right) on his way out the door to go to his doctor’s appointment. He knows he’s getting shots today. And there is Christopher, ever the big brother, going with him to keep him company and to hold his hand if he gets scared. ‘Cause that’s what brothers … [Read more…]
