Excitement!!!

     There is definitely some exciting news in the Johnston house!! :-)  I will be making the announcement this weekend so please check back in Saturday or Sunday. It's amazing the way the Lord works.  This week has been filled with hurt for friends going through rough times and joy at amazing circumstances.
     Currently I've been trying to get back into the routine of homeschooling the kiddos. Noah is starting to learn to read and I'm seriously shocked every time he picks up a new word. I can't believe that he just turned four but yet can read as well as any Kindergarten. I was so excited to find a new book "Homeschool Your Child for Free" by Gold and Zielinski. It is seriously filled with over a thousand links/sources to websites totally devoted to teaching children from K-12th grade. What I love most about the book is that it's broken down by subject so it's super easy to reference depending on what we are wanting to study.
     Hope each of you is having a great day!! Be back soon to share our good news!

St. Patrick's Day

     Sitting here listening to Bug and Bop chit chat with one another. Seriously...they sound like little adults lol. :-)  When did they get so dang smart?
     So, tomorrow is my birthday and I'm going to be 27. Do I feel older? No. Should I? Probably, lol. So many people around me complain that their kids make them feel old but am I weird for experiencing the complete opposite?  They seriously make me feel young at heart, mind and soul. Praise God for that!
     Since today is St. Patrick's Day I've been thinking about what I can add to my blog to "green it up". :-)  I think I'm going to post some Irish quotes and sayings because they make me smile. So, here goes...
