What a fun day!

Today we spent the day with our Cub Scout Pack, Pack 22.  Our pack is small, and seems to be getting smaller and smaller...but nonetheless, they are a really good group of kids.  We visited Hendrick Motor Sports Complex and had a wonderful time!  We had a great tour and after visiting with daddy a little, we visited the Stewart Haas racing complex.  Not near as 'complex' as Hendrick, still a very nice group and very friendly group of people.  Hope to talk again tomorrow, and soon, hopefully I will add a free tutorial or something fun!!  Have a great evening and Oh!  look what I learned today.....     =^.^=

McSwain Happenings!

First, let me say I am not a writer!  I am starting this blog to keep our families, from west coast to east coast, in touch.  We had a wonderful Christmas and New Year!  Loved the snow, except the messy melting part!  The kids got new sleds from my parents for Christmas and actually got to use them on Christmas day. 
William is 10 now and in 4th grade.  I homeschool him and he loves it.  I enjoy watching him learn so quickly and really get into some good discussions.  He likes science, and reading best.  But is really good at math, he amazes me sometimes at how quickly he comes up with answers, and the way he comes up with them!  I can't believe how quickly time passes by.  It seems like yesterday, (cliche', I know) that he was so small and I thought then I could never love him or anyone as much, but boy was I wrong!  My love grows for him daily, as does my love for Virginia Rae and Jeremiah!
Virginia Rae is three, and learning to write her name and learning the alphabet and counting.  She loves, loves, loves to do her "schoolwork" everyday with William.  She enjoys her kitten, Whiskers, and wants him inside with her all the time.  But, mommy just won't let that happen!  Nope, no inside pets, unless its a fish, and they don't make it long at our house!  She also loves to play on the computer, and likes being read to.  She likes to help cook and mop!  Too bad she won't like the last one when she can really do a good job at it!
Jeremiah is 1, and loves playing with playdoh and playing with Whiskers, and William's kitten, Cheddar.  He likes to do anything to "help".  He is so proud when he comes in from helping his daddy or granddaddy feed the dogs or carry in firewood.  We can't go by my parents driveway without him crying for granddaddy.  You should have seen him the week daddy was off work!  He and William thought they should live there!  He likes to visit "paw" and "paw", yes, that is Grandpa and Grandma.  He calls Faye, 'paw'.  He likes to play with her when we visit, and sit on her lap.  He is two steps behind Ray everytime Ray comes in the door and can't stand to see him go out the door! 
They are all three very loving and sweet children.  We have been so blessed!  Hope to post again soon, just not sure how to do this just yet, but I'm learning!
