Photo Update

Since I have been totally neglecting my blog, I thought I would update with some photos!  Enjoy!  I keep a pretty steady stream of photos going on Instagram.  Look me up! SARAHRBROWN

The boys enjoy their firefighter hats from the Moon Festival
Moon cake!

The fan celebrated TSD homecoming! 

It's a blur, but that's the fun! The older kids enjoyed
an afternoon at Jumpoline.

As well as a homeschool trip to the Bob Bullock Museum
of Texas History!


Family homeschool PE time is a blast in Austin.
We LOVE the trails out here.

The trampoline, a generous hand-me-down from our
neighbor, has been an endless source of fun and exercise.



We drove up to The Big D to see Pappy, Nana, and
The Alliance Airshow.

The girls managed to get yet another brother
dressed up as a girl.

Travis is writing his name!! The letters are all over
the place, but they are all there!

Tian is also writing 95% of his name!

Visiting Nana and Pappy's sweet neighbors, Mel and Becky.

Chilly afternoon at the park in McKinney.

Cold doesn't take away the fun!

Is someone excited to be at the airshow?

Travis Update Ending 2013

Image
Just the other day, the boys had a friend come over to play.  Before the friend arrived, his mom sent me a text saying that her son was bringing his Batman costume.  I told Travis, "Your friend will be wearing his Batman costume when he comes over."  Travis' face lit up, eyes lifted, and mouth opened wide.  Before I could finish signing, "Why not you go upstairs to get your Iron Man costume?" he was signing, "Yes, yes!" and making his way up the stairs.  Moments later, he came back to tell me he couldn't find his suit.  I directed him to look in my bathroom in the hamper.  He did and it wasn't there either.  Finally, I told him to hold on while I sent a message asking his dad if he knew the costume's whereabouts.  He did and Travis put on his alter ego. I couldn't help but make a mental note of how that conversation was such a big deal.  We were discussing something happening in the future: friend will arrive soon.  Telling Travis...

A Review: Maya Chan Beach Resort In Costa Maya, Mexico

Maya Chan Beach Resort A Great Way to Spend a Port Day!  In a Nutshell Do yourself a favor and go.  Just go.  My bet is that you will not regret it.  It’s the relaxing day you may not have realized you needed.  The location is dreamy.  The staff are kind and attentive.  The owners have set it up to make it very comfortable and stress-free for the guests. Just go. Video Review in ASL Getting There and Back The walk is a bit of a trek, but the people at Maya Chan send you a very clear map and instructions.  If you look at Google Maps satellite or the picture below, you’ll see that the port dock is long.  Great for taking photos, though! We walked quickly through the maze of shops without stopping, following the instructions and photos from Maya Chan and found the spot with no problem.  They were waiting with a covered area and some seats while we signed a form, then got on the taxis to head over. You may read about the bumpy ride.  ...

Stupid, Socially Awkward Homeschoolers

Image
We've been homeschooling for seven years now.  In those seven years, I've heard the battle-cry of upset homeschooling parents dealing with people who make derogatory comments about homeschooling.  I've considered our family fortunate, because other than the very rare "What about socialization?" question, the kids really haven't faced ignorance....until the past few months.  (I do remember a mom blaming homeschooling on the fact that my then-5-year-old-wouldn't-even-BE-in-public-school-yet daughter asked for a second gift bag at a birthday party. "Well, she's not in school, so she's not learned those social rules yet."  Umm...blame my bad parenting, but not homeschooling.) Since moving to our new place, the kids have had the opportunity to endure a lot of ignorant comments. Among those are comments about homeschoolers.  (I will blog later about the other bigoted, offensive things my kids have heard lately.)  Maybe our past neighbors thou...
