Our homeschooling and home building story.
This week has been crazy. Started out with us in the Rogue Valley to avoid the smoke. I had a great birthday there with my family and got to see both of my siblings. We went to bear creek park and we had an epic water fight. Then we came home (which took twice as... Continue Reading →
Not a lot of pictures this week. We were very busy but the kids slept in better so attitudes were much better. I still have to figure out my sleep schedule. Ari has been enjoying her Imagination Station books a lot. Cas enjoys his school time with Ziggy. Overall we are having fun. I enjoyed... Continue Reading →
It got poured last weekend but we only make it up the hill once a week so we had only seen the pictures in the daily updates from our contractor. It's very nice and they've graded the lot nicely and removed all the stumps and chopped limbs we hadn't gotten out of there yet. They... Continue Reading →
Lets just say...this week was hectic. I'm up at 6, teaching online zoom classes from 8-945. Homeschooling my kids until lunch at 1120. Driving off to the school at 1150 to be ready for in person tutoring from 1215 to 145. While I have in person tutoring, Ari and Cas get to be with daddy... Continue Reading →
More progress this week! Especially considering there's a concrete shortage. Our footings got poured on schedule. They got it all filled in with sand and rocks and whatever else. The day before the slab was supposed to be filled...the concrete company canceled 😦 But then...the day it was supposed to be filled the concrete company... Continue Reading →
This was my last week of getting ready before I'm teaching next Monday. It's been quite a week, thankfully my mother-in-law was willing to mask up and help with the kids twice which allowed me to get over 30 Chromebooks set up for students on one day and then hand them out and walk students...

This week had its ups and downs. The construction crew packed up and quit early Monday because of the ash falling and they didn't want to get caught in another fire (we don't blame them at all). But then our contractor calls Thursday "miracle Thursday" because everything came together just right in our favor and... Continue Reading →
We're home! And the day after we got home...both Caleb and I had meetings for work. We had meetings or online classes on...how to teach online classes...every day this week. Most of the time we could trade off who had the kids and who was in meetings but sometimes we both had to be busy... Continue Reading →
In the midst of all the hectic craziness of this week...we finally broke ground! On Monday we got to meet with our contractor and his wife (all of us appropriately masked) and it went really well and we went over plans and prayed together and I really felt that God is leading our project through...

A week of memories going to camp during Covid season. We were split into color groups and could only interact with others in our color group, all our meals and activities were outside and we wore masks and face shields almost everywhere. It's also the first time I've received a branded mask. There were some... Continue Reading →
