Please meet Chippy.

Say hello, Chippy.




Chippy, shame on you. That's rude. Now turn around and be nice.




That's better.

Homeschool Conference & Indiana

We went to the Cincinnati Homeschool Conference this past weekend... (Thursday, Friday, Saturday). We had a pretty good time. :-) This was the second time I've ever been, and the first time I was old enough to go to sessions by myself without Dad or Mom. My favorite speaker was probably Andrew Pudewa of the Institute for Excellance in Writing. He's pretty funny. We didn't get any pictures at the actual conference, though I did take a few at the Tim Hawkins show Saturday night.

Opening act:


The cool ceiling of "Grand Ballroom B".


Tim Hawkins Himself:


Then we headed on down to Indiana to see my aunt, uncle, cousins, and 2nd-cousins who live there.
This is a rotten picture of Brennan (he was moving around a lot). He is my 2nd cousin, I believe:



Haelley, also my 2nd cousin:

Prayers are needed, please

My good friend Charity D. is very sick right now. It started out with her ears, like an ear infection, but it seems to be getting worse. She is not eating very much at all, and is very thin and pale, and just needs lots of prayers right now. Thanks all.
