Funny/not so funny story from this year

So, we are still homeschooling through a charter school in Monterey, which I really love. Both because we get to go visit and because it is an awesome way to home educate! During one of our visits this last Fall we decided to drive by our old place. As we were driving by Naya says, "for a minute there it felt like all of this was just a nightmare and we were going home".

Huh...... okay, not so funny. Kinda sad.

I guess I thought it was funny to hear it come from her. I knew Cisco and I felt that way, but to hear it come from a kid, my kid. And it was so honestly and perfectly put that you just had to laugh.

Wow, it's been almost a year since we've updated this. It's almost baseball time again. I guess maybe blogging is not our thing. It has been a crazy year though, in our defense. We have moved, was it 13 times in 6 months? About every 2 weeks, while Cisco worked 3 jobs ( Trader Joe's, cleaning carpets for my parents and working at an apartment complex as a handy man in training) that never paid enough and I worked part time and homeschooled Naya and Bubs. Even still we somehow managed to do baseball and Taekwondo for Angelo and gymnastics for Lanaya. They are now in music lessons, Naya in guitar and Angelo in piano. We are now living on my parents property in a studio, yes, all four of us. And to top it all off my parents have been fighting a battle for their vacation rental license this last year and are now suing the City of Napa. Which meant we went to a couple of hearings and tried to keep out of the visitors way while they were viewing the property. Phew!

It is by God grace and His design that we have managed all this. There were moments in all honesty when we felt like we could not handle it all for one more minute, but He strengthened and encouraged us and we press on.
