Intermittent, sometimes coherent ramblings of a sleep-deprived mom and her family of mostly-homeschooled kids

4-Wheeler! (Daniel)
We bought a new 4-wheeler! My dad and I went down to Anchorage yesterday to get it. Boy, is it COOL! It is really big(the kind that can fit two people)and it is silver. We're going to have a lot of fun on that this summer!
Daniel, we are so excited about your 4 wheeler, WAY FUN! Over here in Reno we are very close to Lake Tahoe and dream of getting a jet ski, talk about fun POWER!
What's the temp in Fairbanks these days? Here it's in the 70's with 14% humidity - you know, high desert.
Andy is reading 13 Years Later, the sequel to 3 Musketeers.
We are going to Peru this Sunday, visiting Machu Pichu, Cuzco, Lima, and we'll spend 3 days in the rain forest. We had to take yellow fever shots, thyphoid pills, and malaria pills to get ready for the jungle.
I'm a homeschooling mom with six wonderful kids ages 15 down to 1. Our life is busy, busy, busy with teens, tweens and toddlers but everyone helps out and somehow we manage to keep it all together -- well, to some extent, anyway! Here's a brief glimpse at our life, mostly through mom's eyes.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." ~ Teddy Roosevelt

Hi Daniel! This is a test, if it works I will add more.
