We are a family that promotes homelife. We homeschool, homebirth, and up until recently farmed. We still live on
the farm but are doing relatively little because Gary is now running a small country grocery store. I think
it keeps him busier than the farm ever did.
Sarah is our first homeschool graduate. She is currently working full time (plus!) in our store.
Hobbies of Sarah's are song writing, guitar playing and bread baking. She has submitted a demo to Rockettown, which
we are anxiously waiting to hear back on.
Jacob is our most recent homeschool graduate. Jacob's hobbies are
outdoor sports such as hunting and fishing, drum playing, and communicating with others on his ham radio. Jacob is close
to obtaining his private pilot license. He plans on going to a local college this fall and transfering to Embry Riddle
next year.
Rachel is finishing up her last year of school. Rachel writes songs too and is very good on the piano. She also enjoys
baking and decorating cakes. Rachel is thinking about going to cosmetology school. However, she may focus only on her cakes.
She has even made wedding cakes.
Susanna is our first tubal reversal baby. She is also our first baby to be born at home. Susanna is almost
4 and enjoys being spoiled by her older siblings as well as being a big sister to the younger ones.
Josiah is
our second reversal and unassisted birth. He is almost two. He is a cheerful little boy, with a smile for everyone.
Rizia is our youngest addition. He was born in May. He is a good baby.
That leaves me, Wendy. In addition to my roles as wife, mom, teacher, and bookkeeper for the store, I am interested
in alternative health. I am currently working on my Master's Degree.

LuAnn, Gary's oldest daughter, and her husband Philip recently (Well, not so recent anymore.) had their first
child. You can see more pictures of her on the "Our First Granddaughter" page. Gary is pretty excited about having become
a Grandpa.
~~ Psalms 127 and 128 ~~
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the
LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late, to eat
the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD and the fruit
of the womb is his reward.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of thy youth.
Happy
is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.
For thou shalt eat the labour
of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.
Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the
sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.
Behold, that thus shall the man be
blessed that feareth the LORD.
The LORD shall bless thee out of Zion: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all
the days of thy life.
Yes, thou shalt see thy children's children, and peace upon Israel.
