We are an adoptive, homeschooling family of seven that live on the prairie. My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have 4 biological children, and one adopted child from China. It is our prayer that this blog will be a blessing and encouragement to many.

I enjoy hearing about the grandchildren and what is going on with the family and your activities. Your painting reminds me of painting our house in the country. Before we moved in to the new house the walls were already fingerprinted because I used latex paint. With no furniture in the house the children had to touch something, so they touched the walls. Anyway the second coat was semi-gloss so it could be washed. Love the pictures also. Lots of love from Grandpa and Grandma O’Brien.
I always enjoy reading and seeing what your family does together. I’m hope your children appreciate what special parents they have! Their faces in the photos show such enthusiasm and joy! Terri Parks
Thank you for sharing your family’s work online. My 7 year old daughter is currently doing a report on Lincoln. We too are homeschoolers and love finding other families who have commited to the same lifestyle. Blessings for a wonderful holiday! ~The Wolcott Family
Hi-
I was googling for informaiton about Dr. Laurel Benson because she is supposed to be doinga small surgery on my 2 year old daughter’s hand next week (trigger thumb). I came across your website and wanted to know if you were pleased with Dr. benson and her work on your daughter. Your website is amazing! What a family:)
Thank you in advance for any information – I’m just a nervous mom I guess…
