Open Gymnastics

We had our homeschool co-op’s open gymnastics this morning and everyone had SO much fun!  Especially Declan!  I am exhausted.  He was everywhere all at once and zig zagging from everything that interested him.  Oh my goodness!  

Oconaluftee Indian Village

The kids and I really enjoyed our field trip to Cherokee today. We went to the Oconaluftee Indian Village. I think it was kind of fitting that we ended up going on Columbus Day. Let's go learn about the culture that we messed up. Seriously though, it was really educational. Claire loved the beading and exploring the houses, Chandler loved the blow gun demonstration and animal traps and they all loved getting to be part of the "friendship dance". A picnic lunch and playing with friends just topped their day!

Everyone Needs Support

Some of my council of moms. They are such a blessing in my life.

Yesterday we had our homeschool co-op summer pool party and the families that were able to make it had so much fun.  The moms dragged chairs to the edge of the pool to watch the kids and just talked and enjoyed each other.  

As I looked around at these women I was struck at what an amazing resource I have in these women.  We support and love each other.  We bring meals when we are sick or just had a baby.  We give advice and share our experiences.  We throw baby showers and babysit. 

If you don't have your circle reach out. 

Talk to that woman at the park.

Give a hand to that mom at the store.

I bet you she would love to have the support as much as you do.
