I started this past September (Actually August 30th) a new mom of twin baby girls. A mom of 4. A homeschool teacher. A definite new chapter in my parenting. I wasn't sure how it would all play out. I wasn't sure if I would be swallowed up and feel like I was drowning. But what I did know was that the Lord was for me and not against me. I did know that when I felt weary, He would lift me up. I did know I was in the midst of His will and I had peace about that.
I have learn so much in these past 8 months. I have felt more peace than I have in the past 6 years since become a mother for the first time. I know it is because for the first time I am 100% where God wants me. I am trusting Him and not leaning on my own understanding. I adore where I am at and I NEVER want to turn back. What looks like craziness to the worlds standards is my peace!!!
Homeschooling has been a WONDERFUL experience for our family this school year. It will be taking a new turn here very soon. One, my husband and I have discussed and prayed. We are going to homeschool year around. It makes sense and works for our family. Two, I will beginning preschool with our Carmyn. I was able to go to a training specifically designed for Angelman children. So I am very excited to incorporate our Carm Carm into our day. I believe she has so much to learn and teach us. The little girls are doing amazingly well. Growing by leaps and bounds. Soon they will be little pin balls and bring a whole new dynamic to the day. But all welcomed!!!

That's awesome, Paula! I'm so glad it has been such a good year for you and your family. We're doing year round as well. I love having the small breaks throughout the year. We really like taking a vacation somewhere warm when it is snowy and cold here. It's been so neat to see how God has worked in you and your family over the years.
Every time I see a picture of your twins, it brings me back to when my twin sisters were little!
