New Life Here IN The Great State of Georgia

It has been a few months since I have posted, been very busy getting all settled. There have been so many new changes for the MARCUMFOUR. We have taken a youth pastor position. The Lord has blessed us with some great kids, we have been averaging around 30 for our service. They are all pretty much middle school kids so hopefully they will be with us for a long time, and can get grounded spiritually.

David is working as a upholster for a firm in Chattanooga, he really enjoys working on the antiques. I have had to get used to him being gone all day- everyday. There is always plenty to keep me busy so I have managed.ha
Austin and Emily have had some major changes too. For the last 7 weeks they have had their moma as their teacher, principal, guidance counselor.. on and on.. you get it. We have made the change to home school. We love, love, lo-ve it! It is so awesome to be such a part of their education. I have wanted to do this for some time, but just feel that the time is now. We even dissected a COW EYE. I have been so intrigued with the human eye, because of the probs I have had with my ms, so we worked on the next best thing. It was very neat- even kind of bouncy. The kids thought it was cool to look thru the lens and read the news paper.
Next update of our family would be on our little mini farm. The coon dog Copper, and squirrel dog Andy have adjusted so well to a huge back yard they play well all day. Austin has mastered the loud barking and they fit in well with all the neighbors. The 9 chickens are growing daily and now are sleeping in their own coops, we hope for eggs in a month so so. The Beta Fish are pretty simple they are in our school room to keep us from getting board.
We are happy to be here and feel like we are back home.. it's great to be with our old friends. If you can get away this summer, stop in for a visit, there is lots to do and see. Check out my new cooking blog, It's nettscookin.blogspot.com. Love to see ya. XXOO!

Enjoyed your updated blog. Your home in Rossville looks like you enjoyed decorating it, as usual. It's looks so pretty.

Hope you can keep up the home schooling and the children will do great. It's a challenge but one you are up for. so enjoyed the photos.

Love you all and miss you so much. Am so jealous of your living in the Chattanooga area and I will never get to. I loved it when we lived there.

Love you all!
