I LOVE winter

Our Farm Boy Hockey Team. lol It's rather surreal to skate across 10 acres of ice.

We are blessed enough to have this AMAZING pond across the road from our house...(and amazing neighbours to go with it) but we swim and fish in it in the summer, and play HOCKEY in the winter! These are a few photos from the last few days.

Time for a Happy New Year

It's the waiting time for new beginnings and beginnings always mean the end of something else. We have had a great year. It's been full of new beginnings for us, homeschooling, photography ventures, renovations...the list goes on. And now a new year to redefine, refine and explore new trends, goals and adventures. Have a happy and amazing New Year everyone!

Me

Well I finally had a picture taken....that I approve of. lol This is it. I Love it. It was taken by Jenn Marsh at PhotoJennic Photography. She does an amazing job. I am on the road to the west..Alberta anyway. I'm very excited. I am trying, not very gracefully to get in all the advertising I can. I'm very grateful for the help of my sister and brother-in-laws. Thanks guys. If anyone in the Edmonton area would like to book a session please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible!! amy@simplyphotosbyamy.com Thanks everyone!

My Punk{ins}

Well these ones are mine. They're the freaky homeschooled kids on the block. But they (and me too) are loving every minute of it. I haven't really taken any time to talk about out homeschooling adventure, so no time like the present. This is our first year HSing. I think we're doing ok. The kids don't seem to be behind or socially defunked yet. I really laugh at the misconceptions that people have of homeschooling. We are not the Douggars. That's just not how we do things here....and I only have three kids. It's not about religion, although we are honest to goodness believers in God that's not our reason. We just wanted our punks to learn things differently than the private school they were going to. The public school in our area wasn't an option. I love being home with them, it's not that tough teaching them. Most times I'm learning right along with them. That's how we do it. P.S. There's nothing better than still snuggling in bed and listening to the school buses flying by. ;)
