I'm so glad that lovely Jacque Dixon's birthday is today. I'm sorry she's 40, but hey - it happens to the best of us. I'm glad because it gets me out of a meaty post that I was going to do... which I don't have time for... because I'm totally off-whack today and still in my PJs. So THANK YOU, Jacque! Your birthday is not only blessing me in this trivial way, but YOU bless me all the time!
I have to tell you, I met Jacque through her wonderful daughters online in the homeschool community. This past April, our family took a trip up to Michigan and the Dixons offered to let us spend the night there. We even got to give our swap gifts to each other in person! It is a special kind of people that would invite a family of strangers in to their home. And make us dinner! We fell in love with them, and the three eldest Dixon women have been a blessing to the HSBA team in so many ways.
I hope you'll stop over and read Jocelyn and Amanda's posts about their mama today - because they know her more than I do... and you just have to see the photo Jocelyn posted! What a riot! 80's hair gone awry!
I hope your birthday is super, Jacque... and that you have many, many more! And I hope you won't kill me because I didn't ask permission with that photo (which was taken when you guys came to see us in Texas in June!). But I figure if Jocelyn can get away with it, so can I!
And for me, I hope I can get my act together today!

ReplyDeleteHi,
My name is Kim, and I found your blog while googling "KONOS".
This is my first year to home-school my 3 boys (after 3 years of Christian day school).
So... since I am here looking at your blog, I will comment (and not "lurk"). :-)
I've enjoyed your blog!
Thanks,

Mandasita - Don't you just love that shot! :) I can hear her saying something smart at me as I click the camera shutter. LOL
ReplyDeleteJacquisita - My husband is the walking dead at night. He turns off at 11pm. LOL You guys just got in too late! Chickie says Hi and happy birthday - and sends kisses to the munchkins.
Grandma Starr - :) Tell Rachel to link me via email! So I can read it.
