Please Pray for Chris Klicka and His Family

Dear HSLDA Members and Friends:

Chris Klicka, HSLDA’s first full-time attorney, who has been fighting multiple sclerosis for many years, became very ill at our National Leaders Conference in Colorado last week. Chris was admitted to St. Francis Medical Center in Colorado Springs, where he remains in critical condition.

His family has traveled from Virginia to be with him. Please pray for them as they wait on the Lord during this difficult time.

For updates on Chris’s status visit CaringBridge.org.

For more about Chris’s years of service to the homeschooling community, view his bio at HSLDA’s website.

In Christ,

Mike Smith
HSLDA President

If I had a husband...

Yesterday our church had a picnic at a local park. We were in charge of setting up so we were the first ones there. When we got there were some "trick teeth" (you know the kind where you pop them in and it looks like your teeth rotted out? Why people think that is funny I don't know.) Well anyway Sarah saw them and looked at Mommy. "If I had a husband right now," she said, "I would put those in and tell him I knocked my teeth out playing on the playground!"


Oh the joy of a little sister! I love Sarah

Purity and Courtship!

This young lady, Feminine Farmgirl has been posting on biblical purity and courtship. I encourage everyone to go read what she has to say.

My mom was featured on one of our best friend's blog!
Go check out her "wise saying"!

A Visit with Good Friends!

This movie was made the day Michael fell and hit his head. While Mommy and Daddy rushed him to the emergency room our sweet friends the Marshes took care of us. When Mommy and Daddy returned (with the perfectly well baby) we made this movie with all the kids. We had so much fun!

These are also our good friends who took care of us while we were camping. While we ran late they made the whole meal back at the campsite! When we forgot our chicken they fed us out of their own stuff. They are our best friends!

We love you Marshes!!!

The loom was enormous! How many of you think of something this big when you think of a loom? I don't!

A charming photo!

Big beautiful horse!

Those horses were sweet and huge! I loved seeing them!

I love this! Erin got this great shot of Sarah and her favorite animal!

I love the way the house slopes down to the yard. This was a cabin in the pioneer farm we toured!

This was a really funny story! We payed 5 dollars to drive for an hour through the "bison prarie"! Did we see a bison? NO! Then the next day we are out driving and we see 42 for FREE!!!!

These girls are hunting for the coons that stole our hot dog buns!

We had the best time! I am trying to get photos up, but Blogger is not cooperating! Bear with me here!
