Back in the middle of the country!

So we had a 3 year stint in WA state and are now back in the middle of the country!
Long story short...God confirmed to us through prayer and fasting that we were done in WA (for now) and needed to come back to this area...so we are here.
We are as busy as I ever imagined we could be and I see that life is not done testing our abilities and sanity. We are busy with newly starting Homeschool with our 3 school age boys, church responsibilities, scouting duties, work changes and life in general.
We love being back in our big house that we rehabed and has so much of our blood, sweat and tears in it. We are doing our best to help our family grow and improve in our current location, but it has been a challenge to balance everything we are taking on.
We are working together to improve our family's spiritual and social talents through church and community opportunities. Darin is constantly looking to improve our financial stability which brings an added stress to our schedule, but must be done. I am working to teach our kids the way we know they need to be in the world we live in today, according to our family's religious beliefs and practices and to continue to learn and improve myself as well. Our older boys are working to make friends and learn new things in our lessons. My 2 youngest children are learning to be big boys and to express themselves through the English language skills they are learning at a rapid pace and through exploring their boundaries in the family and in social settings.
I know that this is short and generic, but at least you get an idea of where we are in life right now. I will post more later about us, but hope this catches you up to speed.
