Welcome!

So I have joined the bandwagon of yet one more trend of technology...blogs. It was a request from family members who are distant and unable to see us all the time. So here's to you Mom and Memaw...you can see us any time you want now!
So I guess to begin, everyone will want to know a bit of how we are and what we are up to.
So bear with me as I give the formal update.

We are a God fearing, homeschooling, crazy bunch!

Right now we do school 2 times a week with our best friends and neighbors...the Ponds. It is a highlight of our week. The kids love to learn and play. Noah's favorite subject(s) right now are math, science and history. He is a numbers whiz; is obsessed with anything to do with war, soldiers, military aircraft, etc; and he loves animals. Planet Earth was one of the best tv series they could have ever produced in Noah's book. Even more so than cartoons!
We are in a Co-op on Fridays called For His Children. Another joy and blessing in our week! Noah takes a science class and a literature class. I teach a kindergarten art class with 11 students. We have done some crazy techniques. This last week we did painting with bubble wrap. This coming week is sand art. And soon we will be starting a scrapbook with the little ones. You know me and crafting! My happiness is found in creativity! Nick enjoys a free play time with a whole classroom of other 2 year olds during our learning time.
Noah just finished basketball. Tonight is his awards ceremony. And wouldn't you know that he starts tball tomorrow! He has a practice after church. Not sure when his games start though. Of course this will be the second year in a row that Bryan has been an assistant coach and I have been team mom.
Noah also started piano this last week. We've been trying to get it started for a few weeks now, but there has been a flu bug affecting both the Crews and Pond homes recently. But all seem to be on the mend now.

Nick is growing of course...his second birthday is right around the corner! I can't even believe it! He is such my little love bug as well as the family terror! Its bad when I am afraid to go to a play date because I know at some point some random child will be bitten! But he is a sweetheart to me and a great little addition to our family. Noah is the best big brother there could be.
I am also Noah's Sunday school teacher at church. Its also been a fun adventure for us all.
Bryan...hmmm...lets see. Well unfortunately he spends a lot of his time at work providing for our family. He is such a hard worker and a great dad. He will be starting a baseball league tomorrow actually. Finally his chance at real baseball, non of this softball stuff anymore. He is really excited about that. He had to try out for the team even, so its a great accomplishment in his life. But if you could, please pray that he doesn't get injured during this season. He has also just recently taken his Chief's test and upon passing that will be able to apply for the LDO program, which will allow him to be an officer. What a blessing and adventure that will be. We are in prayer now for our future orders that are actually creeping up on us quickly. We have just over a year left of these orders, then we hope to be stationed in Hawaii. So please keep that in prayers as well.

So I guess that probably covers it. A basic update of our family as of now. Keep in touch with us here at our blog and you'll keep getting the updates with pics to enjoy as well. :)
We love you all! God Bless!
