A Day With the Gray's

A day of remembrance for our fallen heroes Today  WE will remember those who given their lives  for our freedom. WE will lift those up in prayer  who are fighting  today  so that we can continue to enjoy that freedom. May the Lord bless each of you serving today. I pray His protection upon you.

During my vacation something really great happened.....  Chad got a call back from one of his job interviews! He went to interview with the President of the college  and it went really good! We made a mini vacation out of it and took the kids fishing and canoeing . It is a beautiful place! Now we are just playing the waiting game... Whether he gets it or not.. it was a great honor to make it to the final 3 and  I am so proud of him. He loves teaching and he is so good at it.  It is not a job to him but a passion.  He is a wonderful man:) Here are some pictures from our trip... enjoy!

I LOVE HOME SCHOOL!!!!! I have enjoyed teaching Bethany so much this year. It has been a difficult year for all of us but we are strong and closer than ever. We have met so many people, been so many places, and learned so many things together as a family!

We then attended the "Raptor Class" and learned really cool stuff about raptors. Did you know they clocked the falcon at 223 mph!! Amazing! We also attended a Physics class but we were having SO much fun that I forgot to take pictures! We got to make our very own kaleidoscopes and we learned the difference between the colors in physics and the colors in art! I got one of the ladies to take a picture of us before we said our goodbyes and parted from the group. After all the fun, Bethany and I walked around the campus for a few photo ops! It is now official! Bethany has made her decision... She will be attending AU after high school! (N...
