Spring is a crazy busy time for our family ... but we have a LOT of fun. With 6 kids taking part in spring sports, March to June brings more ball games and track meets than you can imagine. Now that we are in the full swing of things (different leagues get going at different times), here is our weekly schedule:
Monday:
Josh - track practice
Ben - baseball practice
Tuesday:
Josh - track practice
Ben - baseball game
Hosanna - baseball game
Josiah - baseball game
Wednesday:
Josh - track practice
Ben - baseball practice
Elijah - baseball game
Thursday:
Josh - track meet
Ben - baseball game
Hosanna - baseball practice
Josiah - baseball game
Friday:
Jeremiah - baseball game
Josh - track practice
Ben - baseball practice
Elijah - baseball game
Saturday:
Josh - track meet
Hosanna - baseball game
Sunday:
REST ... RELAX ... PLAY ...
While we can't make it to every game or meet, because we might be at someone else's game or meet, we do not sit at home and send our kids off to their sporting events. Every afternoon, Jim and I load up 2 vehicles and head off in 2 directions, with a car load of cheerleaders for whomever is playing/running that day. Last night, we had 4 extra kids with us, while their parents went out to dinner for their anniversary, so Ben got to have 12 cheerleaders rooting him on. Go, Ben, Go!
This year, Jacob, Sarah, and Rachel arrived too late to sign up for spring sports, but I'm sure they will all be adding baseball to their schedules next year. So, we will then have 8 kids in spring sports (Jeremiah will be off to Amman, Jordan, so he won't be here to play baseball.) Crazy ... busy ... but FUN!
Welcome to Our Journey of Faith. My blog is a place where I share the joys and trials of living a faith-filled life as the mother of an extra large (12 children) homeschooling family, and my prayer is that it brings encouragement to others to live their lives as an adventure of faith, as well.

Just read your comment on my blog, and now I am laughing. We have very similar schedules. Our oldest does track as well... I only posted about the baseball. This past weekend alone, we had 5 baseball games, 2 track meets and a soccer game. All of which had to be fit in around one son's First Communion, and a joint First communion party for a nephew.
