Some of you knew that Joe had been at ANCOC(Advanced Non-Commissioned Officers Course; for those of you not familiar with Army Acronyms)for the last 6 weeks and last Thursday, I was able to fly to St. Louis for his graduation on Friday. Joe's brother and sister-in-law were kind enough to come and watch Christian and Aaron for us so that I was able to go. After Joe's graduation on Friday, we started our long drive back to home. We had a great two days of driving and the weather was beautiful except for the gusty winds that plagued the east coast for most of last week and into the beginning of this week. On Monday, the boys and I went to Williamsburg, Virginia for Home Educators Week and we had a great time with the other families from our church. The boys,of course, enjoyed the Gunsmith Shop the best. They also help to learn how the tables were set for dinner and then went to the kitchen to help prepare parts of the afternoon dinner meal. The liked playing sticks and hoops too, although it is harder than it looks.
The rest of this week was spent getting back into regular school work and getting ready for Joe's birthday yesterday. He is not real big on birthday's so we kept it low key and just had a Strawberry Cake. Aaron had made Joe a little floam strawberry cake with candles and gave it to him for his birthday and then Joe requested the real thing. LOL!! We also were able to go out to dinner thanks to the youth at our church putting on Parent Date Night..thanks kids!!! We had a very good week and it is very nice to have Joe back from school.

No banana pudding?! GASP. I so don't understand the rage about strawberry cake. It's so...pink. But every year I make one for one of my most regular cake clients because he just loves it.
To each his own. :)
I have to get to W'burg sometime. I've been longing to go there ever since I watched Mr. Rogers visit. Seriously.
No, he didn't want banana pudding. I think he just wanted something different and Aaron just gave him the idea. Williamsburg was fun and I am looking forward to going again sometime.
Hey ya'll I am up way past my bedtime, but I just wanted to poast to say hello. You have been on my mind so much this week, so I am glad I found your blog. I am glad Joe is back from school and from the pics it looks like W'burg was fun. We enjoy going there when Mark gets a break from reading and writing papers...being interpreted as rarely!!

It's been a week, we've been putting Isaac's room away so it's been quite emotional for me and he would have been four months this week as you very well know...Happy 4 months to Titus!!! I can't wait to see him the next time you all come up. I heard that might be soon. Yes, it was my first time to Williamsburg since I was a kid so it was kind of reminicent. I hope we see you soon...thanks for the post and continuing to pray for me.
