We are ditchers!

Shortly after school started we ditched for a week (another perk to Private school is that we can actually go on vacation without being put in jail). It was the first week Brian had off in almost a year. We went to the Outer Banks of North Carolina with Bart and Randi and two of their friends. It was great. We had a big huge beach house and with 13 kids we needed it. We built awesome sand castles, ran on the beach every morning, took naps, played volleyball, played games after kids were asleep, went 4 wheeling on the beach and got stuck a few times (which the men loved, really they did), played wii and rock band, perfectified our tans, went crab fishing, shopped, had wonderful meals, took family bike rides, swam in the pool and soaked in the hot tub. It really was a memorable week.

First day of School

See I am pretty happy too. Just Ben and I all day (except when he is in preschool)

This post shows how very behind I am on my posts but one of these days I'll get caught up. This year Brianna started 5th grade and Brian 1st grade. They both go to Hershey Christian School. I LOVE their school. It is amazing and worth every penny we have to spend on it. They have wonderful teachers and wonderful friends. They come home telling me Bible stories (better than I know them) and teach me the values (like love, respect, honesty,kindness, generosity) they are learning in addition to what we teach them. They also pray all through out the day. The teachers are allowed to hug them and love them. They are able to freely talk about God's hand in history, science, everything, I feel so blessed to have found this school. This was Brianna's fourth school in four years so it was time for something to work out.
