1. Friday the 13th. But no bad luck for us! It was a good day for practicing and schoolwork (we didn't have much today). The weather was beautiful and the boys and I had lunch on the back deck and I lay in the sunshine and dozed while the boys played on the swing and fought the dogs. :-)
2. We went to a surprise birthday party for my friend Andrea's 40th birthday in the evening. It was really nice. Ben wasn't going to stay too long, since he has so much work to do, but he ended up staying almost to the end. The boys had a great time taking scooters up to the top of the hill and then riding all the way down to the end of the road. They must have done this over and over again. There were a bunch of little boys there--between the three families that were there, we have 8 boys between the ages of 3 and 10. Fun!
3. I stayed up too late again. :-)

About Me
- Gabrielle
- I am a Christian, a wife, mother, homeschool teacher, perfectionist, night-owl, reader, conservative, photographer, and a lot more. I have 3 boys-- 11 year old twins named Joseph and Brigham, and a 9-year-old named Moses. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2005. I went from a 30-mile-a-week runner to being mostly wheelchair-bound in 2 years. In 2008 I was accepted into the HALT-MS study-- a clinical trial in which I underwent an autologous stem cell transplant (bone marrow transplant) in an attempt to put the disease into remission. So far, I have remained stable for more than four years! I am grateful every day for the new lease on life that God (and modern medicine and awesome doctors, but mostly God :-)) has granted to me, and the chance I have to teach and raise my boys, love my husband, and experience the joy, frustration, happiness, and heartache that life brings.
