Loving the warm weather!

Hi friends! Well, I must say we really love snow, but OH how we love warm weather too! I guess that is what we really love about NC! You have snow in the mountains and then you have warmth at the beach and they aren't too far apart! My mom asked me just yesterday if my kids have been missing out on any socialization because of being home schooled. I almost laughed because I sometimes feel they do too much socialization.

Greg said that he read an article that said teenagers today spend 8 hours a day on technical things. Texting, computers, videos games, television etc... That is shocking to me since they are in school for 7 or 8 hours and then they are probably eating or asleep the other 8. So, when I see my boys outside playing in Nerf gun wars or mud ball fights or playing football, everyday for at least 4-5 hours, I am a VERY happy Mama!! They have a good group of kids here that all love to play outside and it generally doesn't matter the weather, they will be outside. I guess when you live in small apartments it is incentive to go outside! :o) So, I will be posting some pictures of their adventures outside very soon, so you can enjoy seeing children playing like they kids played when I was little.

Hope you are all having a great week! I am still praying for Haiti and for my friend's little angel to be brought here soon. She is in the process of being adopted and just needs those final go-ahead words to have her brought here. Please pray that she gets the go-ahead and soon you will see pictures of her on here!! Greg has been taking an intensive course this week 8-5 everyday. He has been one tired little man! One course packed into one week is tough on an OLD guy!! He will be turning 41 on the 29th! So, if you want to send him some over the hill cards, I would love it! :o) Love you all!! Missy
