  • How NOT to Get Ready

    How NOT to Get Ready

    I had a great idea for our family’s Christmas video. We’d prepared for it for a week… Writing lyrics (yep, it’s our musical debut)… Getting props… Assigning parts… The day the videographer was supposed to come out, we were all sick – coughing and runny, drippy noses. Not really attractive in a Christmas video. So…

  • In The Sack…

    In The Sack…

    When Aunt Heather came for Thanksgiving, she brought some stuff in a paper sack. When she was done, we put the sack by the trash can.Then the kittens found it:  So the girls tried to mimic them:         But then Jade got all grumpy because she could not fit all the way…

  • Jade and her Daddy

    Jade and her Daddy

    Jade loves her daddy very much.  There is no doubt about that: Jade loves him even more if he has shaved in the past 8 hours. After that, she starts to sense something is different.   You see, she does NOT like stubble.  “It’s scratchy.” Jade climbed into Mom and Dad’s bed the other morning to…

  • Happy Birthday, Brett

    Happy Birthday, Brett

    Brett started to write my blog tonight, but decided last minute that she couldn’t blog about her own birthday. So I’m just going to share her birthday photos: My baby girl is growing up!  

  • Greyden’s Birthday

    Greyden’s Birthday

    Yesterday was Greyden’s birthday. He is 8 now! I remember the day that he came home from the hospital, on my birthday. That was a long time ago! The night before his big day, he and Mom went in to the store to get the cake. They came out with this: The other boys could…

    Happy Birthday, Greyden

    It’s Greyden’s birthday today! My fat and happy little bear is 8 years old today! It’s storming out, so our internet is in and out and won’t let me upload any photos. But I had to let everyone know. Happy Birthday, Greyden! More of Greyden’s Birthdays: Happy 5th Birthday, Greyden! Happy 8th Birthday, Greyden! Happy…

  • Long Car Drives

    Long Car Drives

    It was a very long car drive to Pennsylvania and back home to Indiana. What’s a mother to do for so many hours in the car (other than sleep)? How about crochet hats for the whole family: Pretty good, huh?  

  • Our Thanksgiving Weekend

    Our Thanksgiving Weekend

    The following is a guest post by Brett (she had so much fun writing yesterday’s post and I have so much work to do, it was a win/win).  PJ We had the best Thanksgiving ever. And don’t try to tell me I’m wrong, ’cause I wont listen.  Grandma, Poppy, Uncle Adam and his family arrived…

  • Woody

    Woody

    One of Daddy’s friends from elementary school was going through Indiana, so he decided to stop by. Dad was excited to see him again, because they had not seen each other in about 25 years! Woody got here around 2:30 on the Sunday after Thanksgiving. The kids loved Woody. Indigo was all over him, especially…

  • Grissom Air Museum

    Grissom Air Museum

    When we travel places, we always try to visit something in the area where we can learn something new. It’s the homeschoolers in us. On our trip to Pennsylvania, we had intended to take the children to tour the Hershey chocolate factory. Unfortunately, we were so sick, all we wanted to do was get home…

  • We’re Home

    We’re Home

    After 12 hours on the road we’re home in Indiana! I know, it’s a terrible photo, but what do you expect from a moving car through salted windows at 60 mph? Thanks to everyone who prayed for safe travels for us!         P.S. If you need to reach us, please don’t call…

    I Can’t Walk

    Most of you know that we’re selling soap at the Pennsylvania Christmas Show: Across the aisle from us, we get to stare at this: Actually, Hewitt spends most of his time staring at it like this:   Well, the first day we were at the show, half way through the day, Hewitt comes “crying” to…

  • Homeschool Creativity – Camouflage

    Homeschool Creativity – Camouflage

    The entire Jonas family is currently in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania selling soap at the Pennsylvania Christmas Show.  This is our first time here and we are all working very hard to share our soap with as many people as possible. I say “we” but I really mean “they” because I’m not actually selling any soap.  The reason???…

  • Pretty Princesses

    Pretty Princesses

    While we’re selling soap in Pennsylvania, Gretchen is covering the homestead. She’s shipping all the orders, answering the phone, feeding the goats (well, her husband may be doing that), taking care of the kitty cats, and basically being me for the week. Gretchen has two children – her son is in school, but her daughter…
