Adventures in Chile: December 2012
http://schicks-in-chile.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
A place to share our adventures as we relocate from Phoenix, Arizona, USA to Santiago, Chile. Sunday, December 30, 2012. Looks like Santa found us in Chile after all. Scooter sniffing around for his loot. A beautiful Christmas Morning. The kids hanging out playing video games, waiting for the OK to come down. Alex comes down - like normal but. Andrew snuck around through the kitchen. Weirdo. They're about the same height this Christmas! Alex made a special surprise for Andrew this Christmas. It's "sin al...

Adventures in Chile: July 2012
http://schicks-in-chile.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
A place to share our adventures as we relocate from Phoenix, Arizona, USA to Santiago, Chile. Tuesday, July 31, 2012. The first day of school was a resounding success! And so on. We were told that this is to allow students to hit their "optimal learning time" in each class during each set of rotations. Sounds just plain confusing to me. Yesterday Andrew had PE first thing. He said the gym was FREEZING! Apparently, she's hot too. BOYS! We've talked about how important it will be to do homework the day it ...

A place to share our adventures as we relocate from Phoenix, Arizona, USA to Santiago, Chile. Sunday, April 22, 2012. There are several little tips that I need to remember while in Chile. I will continue to post about these little tidbits as I learn them. When going into the bathroom, it is important to check for toilet paper. Friday, April 20, 2012. We are in the market to rent. We also would love something furnished. We’ve agreed to stay for 1 year with the company pushing for 2-3. We...If I am in an a...

Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: A DECISION…FINALLY!
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2014/04/a-decisionfinally.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Friday, April 11, 2014. A decision by the judge who, 88 days ago listened to a 2 day trial as to why CPS was seeking to server parental rights for our foster girls and their brothers! 88 days is unheard of, (as it is supposed to be 60) but none the less…we have a ruling! Early this morning we received "the call" that all 4 kiddos parental rights were severed! But she was and we are praising the Lord we do not have to endure separate cases from here forward! We would love if...

Is It Friday Yet?: August 2014
http://sarahhodel.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Is It Friday Yet? Wednesday, August 13, 2014. My First "Lakes" Experience. Cooking breakfast on our day to feed everyone. Lots of cute kiddos. Taking a bike ride to a small, nearby pond for a little peace and quiet away from said cute kiddos. My first ever ride on a jet ski. It wasn't horrible but it wasn't as fun as everyone said it was. I'm just not real adventurous! Much to my hubby's dismay.). Princess of the boat. Watching Danny and Ryan ski together and. Enjoying a dip in the lake.

Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: Grace? Discipline?
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2013/08/grace-discipline.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Saturday, August 17, 2013. How do you teach taking responsibility for your actions, for your choices? How do you do this for a little girl who has never seen this modeled? Who is incredibly stubborn? Infuriating to watch her her try to convince me she did not thing wrong! Infuriating to watch my other girls sob in their Daddy's arm, asking forgiveness and receiving it, knowing she will not! I don't want this for her! I want her to know the beauty of forgiveness! My love and...

Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: September 2013
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. Well, today beat me! Nothing major happened but it never stopped today! So, after very little sleep the last few nights, some serious over scheduing and not placing my focus where it needs to be.I did not come out on top! It was run, run, run, constantly today! Forgot to figure out dinner so we ate Taco Bell (epic fail)! Homework was horrible all around and I may NOT have kept my cool! So basically.I was just beat by this day! The good, the bad...

Choosing Joy....Amidst the Chaos: October 2013
http://joyandchaos333.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Choosing Joy.Amidst the Chaos. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. Well, I haven't written much as of late, because truly, I have nothing inspiring to say! Life has been life. We have had some highs and lows, but nothing too extreme! We have our daily routines with chores, homework, bedtime etc so life is just plugging right along! Lots of predictability and working hard to keep life simple! But no major extremes mean, not a lot of emotion to get off my chest, so not much blogging. But we are celebrating!
