This Beautiful Chaos: September 2012

1st day of school 2012

Deut. 6:5-7 says “Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.”

We are homeschooling all 3 kids this year! And we are really excited about it! It's so important to me that our kids are home learning. I want learning to be fun for them. I want the opportunity to hide Gods word in their hearts!

Daxton is our big 1st grader.

Sage is Pre-K

Chloe is excited about doing Tot school :)

We are really excited about this year and can't wait to see how it goes. This year we added All About Reading to our curriculum and Grapevine studies.

Hi I'm Trena. I am a mother of 3 active, beautiful kids. This blog is mostly a photo journal about them. They are my heartbeat...my world. I hope to make their childhood magical. I'm a nurse and even though I LOVE my job taking care of new mommies and their sweet newborns right now I'm very blessed to stay home with my little ones. I don't want to miss a minute of watching these 3 grow :) I love the Lord with all of my heart and I hope to continue to grow in him. I want him to be the center of our lives always. In my spare time (haha) I like playing with photography. I love to take pictures of my babies and I try to capture as much as I can of them. Even though our life is crazy we wouldn't have it any other way. We enjoy every moment of this beautiful chaos.

Daxton is the firstborn. He is a leader and my spirited high energy little boy. He's a bossy big brother, lover of water, a great swimmer and defender of his baby sister. He loves animals especially his puppy Charlie. He's our little gamer who mastered most of his games at the age of 3. He loves to jump, run, and always be on the go. This amazing little boy...every single day works 50 times harder than any neurotypical child to navigate this world because he has autism. He is my HERO. He has taught me so much and I'm so grateful God made him my son.

Sage is our amazing blessing. A bundle of energy and spunk. Loves animals, always exploring, fast runner, fearless climber, sometimes clumsy and always dirty. He loves to giggle and loves to cuddle. He is a big time Daddy's boy. Sage is our little artist, if there is a pen or marker around he will find it and use it. His favorite place to be is outside. Loves his big brother more than anything and loves to copy anything and everything he does. He is my sweet baby boy and has a beautiful heart

Chloe is our beautiful baby girl. A New Years Baby. How neat to have the entire world countdown to your birthday :) She is growing and changing every single day. She adores her big brothers. She loves digging into everything, climbing, reading books, playing with her babies, swinging, being outside and coloring on everything except paper. Dance class is her new favorite thing to do she gets very excited when it's time to put on her dance tutu and tap shoes. She is becoming oh so talkative and has so much personality and I can already tell she is going to keep us on our toes ;)

Chloe was a wonderful surprise. After trying for 2 years and taking fertility drugs to have Sage and having 2 miscarriages along the way, we did not think we would have another baby and then along came our wonderful surprise.
