HomeSchool Conference, 2010

So, I forgot I had these pictures from the Homeschool Conference we went to. :) We usually stay there at the Embassy Suites Hotel, but we couldn't this year because of Belle being due. So we just went down for a day, and here's the photos from that.

me and my Starbucks coffee. I look like I need it, don't I?

this is everything I bought while I was there. :) The one book, "The Journey of Hannah", I thought was funny. The title caught my eye, (naturally), so I bought it. =D

My Brother's Helmet

Yes, this is what happens when your little sister gets your little brother's army helmet and sticks it on your head, and then asks to take pictures of you....

Making Bread

This morning I made some bread while Nathan was outside weeding and mom was in the garden. Check out that lump of dough!Two short videos...VERY short videos. :)

Evening Post

Hello. It's 8:41 in the evening. A nice time to post, if you ask me. Nathan and Rebekah are sitting at the dining room table to my left playing with Playmobil and Attacktics, raiding the Playmobil airport. Mom's in the kitchen making coffee for in the morning, the water in the sink running, but the noise not above that of the Last of the Mohicans theme playing on the CD player. Dad's in the bedroom reading Rushdoony. It's getting dark outside, and all the cats have just been gathered in doors. The dining room and kitchen lights are the only ones on, which is kinda nice. I've never really posted this late, and just thought I'd give it a whirl. :) But, not for long...we'll be heading to bed at any moment!

Max finally kicked me yesterday. I've got a nice big bruise on my thigh the size and shape of his back hoof, and trust me...I kicked his back feet out from under him when he did it. :) Then today, he bit me on the arm, so I've got a welt the size of a pea (or bigger) on the forearm. And this evening, on TOP of that, Nathan and I went up to the barn to feed and clean out those nasty stalls. The wheelbarrow was sitting in the entrance to Belle's stall, and we were shoveling all that mess away when Max came into the stall. Nathan raised his pitchfork to put in the wheelbarrow, and Max panicked! He rammed into the stall wall, shot out of the stall, hit the metal gate, and ran smack dab into the hay rack, getting his head stuck in between the bars. That called for more panic. He was rearing up and kicked and hurting himself all the more. I shoved his nose out, and he shot backwards, fell, got up, scrambled over the shaving bags, hit the gate again, and ran into the stall once more, hitting the wall again. We finally got him calmed down, and he does this whole mouth thing when he's scared; he'll chomp at the air or something, which is actually kinda cute, because he has no teeth. :) But, yeah, we got him calmed down. I don't know why he did that! It was crazy! Oh well...he'll have to learn.

Anyway, I'm headin' to bed. I'm so sleepy! I told mom that I'm having major carb-withdrawals. I'm on the low-carb diet again, and after just three days of less than twenty carbs a day, I'm feeling pretty bad. It passes, though, and then you feel great! Last time I was on it, I'd lost 18 pounds! It really works. Anyway...it wears you out the first couple of days.
.....Ah....it's 8:50...my pillow calls. =D

Goodnight!
In Christ,
-a very sleepy Hannah

My New Favorite Artist

Is, by all means, Ron DiCianni! His paintings are GREAT! His painting entitled "Safely Home" is in the front of the book, Safely Home by Randy Alcorn, and was written at the end of the story. Here I'm putting up some of my favorites:

More Pictures of Max

I just came back from running about in the pasture with my Big Boy. He's in such a playful mood! I took some videos and pictures, and thought I'd share them with you. :)

Yes, Another Video

Well, Max is doing great! He's growing like crazy, and we're already halter-breaking the little guy. He's two weeks old tomorrow, and absolutely ADORABLE! Trust me, I can't say it enough! Check out this video, and then I'll post some pictures. :) Isn't his halter cute??? I think red looks good on him. :) The little rascal is already drinking water and trying to eat Belle's food!


This isn't the best photo, but you can see that his eyes are blue!

This is coming here, people. We MUST understand that.

A Great Book

Would you like to read a great, and I do mean, GREAT, book? Read Safely Home by Randy Alcorn. I can't put the thing down. It's WONDERFUL! Not to mention, a great eye-opener. It really makes you stop. and. think. Do read it. By all means, DO READ IT! I haven't enjoyed a book more. What's amazing is, I bought it at our Homeschool Conference in Winston-Salem. Out of the thousands of books, I was just browsing by a jumbled mess of books laid out on a table. A black cover with Chinese writing on the front caught my attention. Making my way through the packed area, shouldering, slipping and sliding to avoid hitting anyone, I got there, picked it up, and flipped through it.
"Hm...looks interesting."
I wasn't sure if I should buy it...it was probably boring anyway. Finally, I shrugged, tucking it under my arm and heading towards the stand to pay for it.
"Who cares. Let's just try it. If I don't like it, I can sell it on E-bay."
After I bought it, I went out into the bustling convention center and found myself a little corner. Dropping the back-breaking bag from my shoulder, I slid down against the wall, pulled out the book and my water bottle, and began to read, ignoring the blur of people rushing by and the humming chatter of voices. Within the first two and a half chapters, I was hooked! Please read it!!!
