School's cool, water daughter, and where's mom's hair?

School's Cool

Although the first 2 weeks of homeschooling went well, we've now run into "I don't wanna" syndrome. This was encountered while baby cried and toddler Joseph was asking a thousand questions, leading to mom nearly crying; that is, until I read the below quote on Jessica's blog which really helped. Thank goodness for other wonderful homeschooling moms!

"Homeschooling is one of our responses to preserve all things Catholic.  This is our cross. Let us not come down from such a privileged place.  Yes it's hard! But it's a privileged place.  And when you are privileged, it's gonna be hard...." 

But we made it through today and the result was wonderful because David made some beautiful 5's and h's after all the protesting. The coloring is Joseph's handiwork...he loves to do school "just like David".

Every blog post needs a cute baby pic, so here is what I wish Hannah always did during school:

Water Daughter (Hannah's Baptism)

On Saturday morning we celebrated the wonderful baptism of our newest addition, Hannah Rose!

Hannah has the most faith-filled Godparents who are beloved friends of ours and she was one of my sponsors coming into the Catholic faith (I needed 2).

Where's Mom's Hair?

Oh, and how could I forget Bob. I chopped off most of my hair for Locks of Love. Joseph and Daddy like it, but David still thinks mom looks like someone else, "just some short-haired lady".
