Texas Thomas': May 2014
http://texasthomas.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 29, 2014. My last post, over 6 months ago, announced our plan to move. I also said I would post lots of pictures as I planned to document each step of the construction of this house. I had several friends who were also building homes at the same time and I loved seeing the construction process unfold. Here are a few of the pictures of the process:. But it is done now! 160; And it is beautiful and we love it! Built-in shelves and cabinets upstairs. See you all later! Jen Loves Free Stuff.

Texas Thomas': November 2011
http://texasthomas.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. We had a great Thanksgiving weekend! 160; We had dinner at my moms house with some family friends and there was SO much food. Not all the new recipes I made were a hit, but I learned something so that’s progress! 160; And the sense of accomplishment at the end…it’s awesome! Once Chris moved upstairs then the crib was available for David. We moved the mattress back up to the top and moved David from the bassinet in our room to the crib in his own room. Wh...I love to eat, ...

Texas Thomas': September 2012

Thursday, September 27, 2012. Homeschooling–one month in (part 2). On Thursday and Friday we do Math and Science. For Math we are using Singapore Math and he LOVES math. He’s a total nerd. Gets that from both Paul and I! Knowing that math is really easy for him I started him in ' Math 3B. When I asked him what he wanted to study for science he chose chemistry so I found him a chemistry book called ' Adventures with atoms and molecules, Chemistry Experiments for Young People. Both Math and Science have...

Texas Thomas': Family Update Part 1
http://texasthomas.blogspot.com/2013/10/family-update-part-1.html
Thursday, October 17, 2013. Family Update Part 1. Most of you know Paul works for ExxonMobil. They are in the process of building a new campus just south of The Woodlands in Spring, Texas which is where eventually almost all of Exxon employees will work. That is currently a 1-1.5hr drive from our home in Katy, Texas. He started a new assignment at the beginning of August on the construction site of the new campus. I hope to post LOTS of pictures of the house as it gets built, so bear with me. ...

Texas Thomas': August 2013
http://texasthomas.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 26, 2013. 1st day of 2nd grade. Riding his bike while camping over spring break. This past year hasn’t been very momentous for Brian, but he’s done a lot of fun stuff. We tried to include him in many of the fun things Aaron was doing homeschooling and allowed him to miss school occasionally to do so. He got to go to the Toyota Factory with us and the Zoo and Children’s Museum and even took a day to try out homeschooling himself. . Toothless at Christmas in Utah. 160; . My cute little bo...

Texas Thomas': October 2011
http://texasthomas.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 24, 2011. I’m sure it has to do with him being the 4th, but I just haven’t taken very many pictures of David. I’ll try to do better. He’ll be 2 months old at the end of this week and is doing great. He is still a super nurser, loves to be held, and has started smiling and cooing at us all the time! 160; He holds his head up great and stares at the ceiling smiling enthusiastically. . We really have a great family and are especially glad David has joined our family. When David was 2 weeks...

Texas Thomas': Christian’s Update
http://texasthomas.blogspot.com/2013/10/christians-update.html
Thursday, October 17, 2013. Earlier this year I pulled out the Dick and Jane beginning reader books and we started learning to read. Both Aaron and Brian learned to read very young but Christian had not shown any interest. After a few weeks though he started to get it! He loves to be a helper (when he wants to of course, not necessarily when I ask him to clean up! Hopefully I’ll post about his 4th birthday which is next month soon! 160; We love you Chris! Such a fun age! July 28, 1947 - March 18, 2008.

Texas Thomas': August 2012

Sunday, August 19, 2012. Why I am choosing to homeschool Aaron this year. I have been asked this question by many people lately and I’m sure I’ll be asked by many more (not to mention those that wonder and don’t ask! 160; So I decided I’d just answer this via the blog for those who were wondering. Here goes: . I see some potential in Aaron that I don’t feel the public school can adequately address and I’d like to try to meet his needs on my own this year. Have you really thought about this? I happen to ...
