A Little About Us

Posted by Coral on May 29, 2008

Hello all, I am the mommy of this homeschool family. Hold on one second the washer and dryer stopped I need to change loads. -Ok, I’m back. Oh, by the way my name is Coral. I have three children 6, 4, and 20 months; two girls and then the boy. I also have the best husband on earth, Jeff and I do mean the very  best. He totally loves that I am homeschooling, I’m sure that it has nothing to do with the fact that he grew up in the public school system, got bored and into trouble. Besides that he loves us, spends time with us, helps out, and works hard. He is talented in almost everything He puts His mind to (a very hot drummer,and computer geek). He adores Me ,and he loves Jesus.

 My oldest is the ask questions that I would never think of or be interested in (a million of these a day, by the way) kind of girl. Watching the show “How it’s Made” with Daddy is fun for her. I don’t understand why. I find it pretty boring most of the time. She the one who keeps me learning.  P is my little friend. I love spending time conversing with her. she has a lot of insight for a 6 year old. She can be very serious, and very silly. My girly loves to meet new people and is not shy at all. P is a true leader and great big sister. I thank God for her because she helps me grow each day. I see things in her that are just like me and others I wish I had as part of me, but at least I have her.

The middle sparkle or girl, both describe her well, is the charmer. Her smile and dimples will get her many things in this life. My job is to teach her not to take advantage of others with her cuteness. She also is very smart, but is content with the info Mommy, Daddy, and Sister give her. She loves to snuggle, hug and kiss. She says “Mommy, mommy”, I say “yes R” and she proceeds with, “I love you”. This happens a few times a day, warming my heart every time. R can be shy at times, is artistic (got that from me), and is good at physical thing such as sports. She is in t-ball and would be great at it if she could only stop day dreaming for a few moments. Her imagination is a fairy tale land that I wish I could jump right into and run with her and the ponies.

The baby boy is just that, the baby boy. The girls love to baby him, they are at his beck and call. My husband is in love, now that he has a boy. He says it is nice to have someone to be male with. They go outside to just play with the dirt and sticks. Some of S’s first words were the boy words like “car”,and “ball”. He climbs on everything. One day I turned around to get something out of the frig, the next thing I new he had wiggled out of the belt in the high chair and onto the counter. The girls never gave me so many heart attacks!  He is such a happy baby, and makes us all laugh. I am cherishing every moment with him because we are pretty sure he will be are last.

And finally a little about Me. I naturally have a unorganized and creative personality. However through lots of training from godly parents and out of necessity, I have learned to be organized; with a tiny bit of haphazard left over. I love the outdoors, God created such a great world didn’t He?  One of my favorite family outings is hiking.  I love to teach women’s groups and my children. This is probably because I am very opinionated. I like to paint, but never do. One thing about me that is a little odd is that I enjoy exercise. I know it’s weird. It hasn’t always been this way, but now I rely on it as my caffeine substitute. I am a very emotional person, and am learning to control this a little more as time goes by. My biggest desire and goal in life is to please my Lord Jesus in every season of my life. Right now my season is raising our children in the way each of them should go. I hope some of my thoughts and experiences as a homeschool mom will bless others. This will probably benefit me more than anyone. Oh, yeah I was homeschooled.
