Psalm 127:3-5

Sons are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate.

Psalm 127:3-5
Dean and Dawn proud parents of these blessings:

Mackenzie Jo 19, Carter Dean 15, Reegan Marie 12, Cael Charles 11, Quincy Everett 9, Addelynn Ruth 7, Cade Joseph 5, Kyler Erwin 4, and Jaycie LeeAnn 2

Huckabee Book Signing

This in my opinion is home education at its best. The ability to pick up and meet a potential and past presidential candidate. An author and former AK governor Mike Huckabee. He is on a book signing tour for his book A Simple Government.

Loaded up the kids and took off for Barnes and Noble, bought the book and then got in line. Once we reached him and many small hands reached up to shake his, he took the photo op by stepping out from behind the counter he was standing at. He asked the children range of ages and then asked if I knew his friends the Duggars?

When we left we took a moment to take our photo in front of his bus.

After we went to the African American History Museum. This is a pretty cool museum and it is really great how fast they were able to rebuild and be back after the flood. We were there pre flood but this is our first trip there post flood.

Came home, threw some dinner into the oven and met with a couple who are here right now from France. They are looking for a nanny and would like Mackenzie to come and live with them for at least a year. They got her name from a mutual friend. Sounds like one incredible opportunity, and one she is considering seriously. So much to think about, not just the opportunity but also the changes that will occur while she is gone. Physical changes in family and friends, emotional changes, and time away from what she knows and loves. On the other hand, when would an opportunity like this present itself again? She is more then qualified to watch their 11 month old. Some things to weigh, but right now, she is ready to jump in and experience a whole new culture, language, and lifestyle.
