Our Family Has Grown by 4 Feet!

A few weeks ago I shared with you all that we were looking to adopt a dog and to help fill a hole.Well after many trails and tribulations, and meetings with shelters we have finally found our new family member. 

It is funny how it all worked out actually. The kiddos and I headed back to Ohio for the weekend and a few meetings with shelters. We meet this amazing Pitt mix and we felt like he might be the one to complete our family. While we waited to hear back from Rescue K911 we went and looked at two more dogs, they both were not a good fit for our family.  My mom had mentioned that a lady from her salon was looking to find a new home for their dog, I agreed to go see this pup. We got there and it was love at first site. He is a Chocolate Lab, German Shepard, Black and Tan Coon hound mix. He will be one on April 1st. He is so calm, well behaved and loving. He was AMAZING with the kids. So I knew I just had to bring him home with us. 

So I would like to introduce you all to our new four legged family member! 

This is our big boy Lando.

We look forward to all the fun we will have with him at the lake and on the trails this summer!

Registraiton

We are registered for Homeschool. I spoke with our enrollment advisor today and set up our meeting. I am so excited and nervous for this new chapter in our life.  This journey is one I am really looking forward to. God has truly given me the connections, the insight and support that I need to make this happen. I am in awe of how excited my daughter is to go on this amazing journey with me.

God has shown me time and time again that this is the correct path for us and I am thankful for that. I am sure I am not alone in the feeling of being terrified, and uncertain about taking on this role. We as homeschool mothers not only have to balance meals, grocery shopping, laundry, cleaning, kids activities, work, are husbands schedule and life in general, but we also take on being a teacher to our children. This is something we choose to do not because we want to be the super hero, earn the mother of the year award, to feel superior to any other mom, we do it because we have felt the calling to do so. This allows us have a little more say in our kids education and allows us to be involved more in their lives. I want to give my children the best education that I can. 

Thank you for all the love and support. I look forward to sharing all the craziness that comes a long with this chapter!
