Homeschooling venture

Well we are off and started on our homeschool adventure for this year. E is in 2nd grade, P is in 1st and G is doing 4k. I think she may be the smartest just because she sits in and hears everything we are talking about. Off and running, here we go.

We have booked our first trip to Disney World and we are super excited!!!!

We are fortunate enough to have my mom go with us for the week and help with Graci so everyone should have a great time.



Watch out Disney, the Reeds are on the way!!!

Trip to Selma

The girls and I went to Selma for a short, but long overdue trip to Selma on Friday and came back tonight. We really did have such a great time. My sis-in-law is right though, Selma has to be the hottest place on earth! It was unbelievable!! We managed to stay cool by staying inside, except for a few photo shoots of course, and drink lots of sweet tea :)

Thanks Nana Reed and Papa for everything! We had a great time. Here are just a few (honestly it is just a few) pictures that I put into collages.

Graci

All of them :)

Paw Paw Update #2

So we went back to Tennessee to see Paw Paw. I went with my mom, dad, little brother and took Emi and Payton with us. The girls did great and I am so glad that they were able to go and be part of today. It was such a special time.



I handled today better I guess because I just saw him on Friday. I had explained everything to the girls and what to expect. It was such a special time today. PawPaw had a hard day yesterday and so we really didn't know what to expect. He had a "rally" day today. He ate a good lunch and was coherent and talkative to us before he napped.



Emi was soooo very compassionate and loving to him. She crawled up in the bed with him and took a nap next to him (see picture below). It was such an incredible thing to see and be a part of. She helped feed him and love on him and rubbed his hands and arms. The pictures are something I know I will cherish forever and I know Emi will one day too.



We also got to go out in their backyard where Jere has a disc rope swing and play on it. The girls loved it (and so did I). It's amazing how therapeutic swinging can be (even for adults). It was a special day and I am glad the girls got to go before PawPaw goes home to be with the Lord.



It was very difficult to say goodbye to him without knowing if I will see him again before he passes. Tears of sadness fell again....



I love my PawPaw and Jere.....
(i'll post some pics later on today)
