~ singing hymns by kerosene lamp light in my college dorm room with a good friend and roommate at midnight.
~ buying food for a homeless shelter and then several half gallons of ice cream for ourselves with the remainder of a friend's food stamps.
~ the four of us kids (myself and siblings) squeezing into the back of our Hyundai as teenagers when we'd go to small group as a family. Lots of teasing, and usually a lot of laughter too.
~ getting together with the cousins and aunts and uncles for holidays. Grandma's house was always warm and full of yummy smells and there were the favorite movies we watched year after year: Anne of Green Gables, The Princess Bride, Meet Me in St. Louis...
~ bonfires at the beach in Seattle with youth group kids. Loved the freedom and fun of it and the sunsets were gorgeous.
~ an evening walk around a park with cookies and milk and some college friends (one of them being Phillip, but this was several years before we dated).
~ a sweet baby girl being born in our home. She came so calmly - not crying; just blinking her eyes.
~ a Great Day of Questions date with Phillip. This was one of my favorite dates we went on before we married. We simply wrote out a list of questions to ask each other and then went to a garden park and asked them. Learned a lot about each other before we committed to marriage this way. :-)

hey lanaya...this is joyce ormeo from church...not sure how i eneded up on your family blog, i was trying to go to the church website and it wasn't working this morning and this showed up in google instead. anyway, you have a very cute family!
it's awesome to find other homeschooling families at our church...we've been homeschooling our oldest son (he's 9 now) since kindergarten and will eventually add our 3 yr old in that mix...are there other homeschool families at our church?
see you at church! your kiddos are adorable...
hey! maybe one day there will be enough homeschoolers at our church and you can start a co-op! haha
we're not part of a group anywhere, it's hard to find a group for the younger kids on my side of town. we did try a group the second year we we're homeschooling, but my son was just too young at the time and they didn't have anything for his age, they just let him sit in with the older kids...
although, we go to the PE program that they have at the Cecil Field Equestrian Center...this is our 3rd yr with them...
