Out of the Blue: July 2011

http://calonderfamily.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

Monday, July 18, 2011. Busy, busy, busy. Wowhave I been neglectful! I didn't realize how far behind I have become, but we are still here and I do plan to keep updating when I get a few minutes! I just realized the other day I still have never blogged about our mission trip - LAST summer! It's been busy for us this summer and isn't going to slow down any time soon. We've gone to Adventureland with the youth group; had VBS - we did GoFish Guys "Backstage with the Bible" (so fun! We have not gone anywhere a...

Welcome | Odyssey of a Lifetime

https://odysseyofalifetime.wordpress.com/welcome

Odyssey of a Lifetime. Welcome to my homeschooling odyssey. This is the best word I could find to describe the trip that we are about to embark upon as a family. Tomorrow will be our first day of homeschooling three boys. Your prayers are greatly coveted. I hope that I will be able to share with you the joys, laughs, and sometimes frustrations that come with nurturing three young, energetic, creative, vivacious boys on a daily basis.

Radio Silence Has Ended | Odyssey of a Lifetime

https://odysseyofalifetime.wordpress.com/2011/07/26/radio-silence-has-ended

Odyssey of a Lifetime. Radio Silence Has Ended. July 26, 2011. I look back over my posts and wonder how the time could have passed so quickly. How has it been over a year since I have last recorded a mission? How have I not been here, the place where I planned to record each mission that our family explored. Each odyssey that we began? But then I think back over the past year, and I recall the journey. Selah. How has everything changed? In the space of eighteen months, I have traveled the road of Psalm 4...

To share about our trip. I want. I was changed. Life changing things happened on that trip. There were a lot of amazing things that hap...This ...

Out of the Blue: June 2013

http://calonderfamily.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html

Monday, June 3, 2013. Public School vs Homeschool. Unfortunately, I have noticed in the last couple of years, that homeschooling is as hot-button a topic as any other parenting decision. When I was pregnant, the raging debate was natural, unmedicated birth vs medicated birth vs c-section. Now, all these years later, does it matter? It appears, not so much. The hostilities on both sides of the "Public School vs Homeschool" debate are huge! There are many other verses about educating your child. How yo...

Thursday, June 14, 2012. I am getting really bad about keeping up.which is not good because this is how I am supposed to remember the day-to-day life during these fleeting years! We have been busy with the end of school - finally all of my children are homeschooled! For now, we are figuring out our daily groove. We're easing into things and doing only science this summer. So far, everyone has been very enthusiastic, excited, and are really enjoying it! The triplets graduated from preschool! He was trying...

Odyssey of a Lifetime. Thoughts on Life from an Older Perspective. August 2, 2011. Recently I have been pondering my parenting as well as the parenting that I received. I hope you will enjoy my perspective on life. Thoughts on Life from an Older Perspective. A thank you to our parents). When I was a child, I thought that when someone made me a promise, it would happen. When I was a youth, I thought that when someone made me a promise, they must be trying to trick me.

When it's your child, though, maybe the numbers and facts don't matter as much.because ONE is too many. You might love someone with autism if. You know what a social story is. You know the power of a social story. Heartbroken ...
