Always our Angel, Now our Guiding light

There something about little Jam turning 3 this week that has made me reflect on my life so far.  The choices we have made and the events we did not choose but have no doubt made us who we are today.
The biggest of these 'unchosen' events was loosing our Angel in 1999.
Heather Elisha 1996-1999 

There is not much I can say except how much we love her and miss her.

What a character


When she met her best friend and cousin Lauren for the first time.

Laughing with her cousin - Only 8 weeks apart


First Family portrait on a flying visit - she was so unhappy which was unusual - when we got home we found out she had strep throat

Her FAVORITE toy PO from the Teletubbies


Such a joker - with Grandpa M

They still have some strange British quirks, eat British food, and pronounce things in different ways - yes my boys are cowboy boot wearing Americans through and through. The hats normally only come out for Halloween though. We starting homeschooling about two years ago when Jam was starting 5th grade and Boo 3rd. We love it. At the time we had chickens and bunnies - however we recently gave them to a friend who has a farm since we are trying to relocate closer to my husbands work. (He commutes an hour each way.) So my blog name makes me chuckle it should now be Homeschool but NO chickens and bunnies. I am excited to meet new friends. Leave me a comment to say Hi. ...
