Pictures

I downloaded some pictures so you could see what we have been up to...


Here is Judah, standing up ready to walk...yes, I know he is a late walker, but so far all of mine have been. Any day we think...he should beat Bryn's first steps...she was 17 months old!
Here are Esther, Caleb and William at Caleb's birthday party in the beginning of the month...my little stair steps.
Judah and William (a bit blinded by the sun)...sitting on the front step, watching me leave for work...they looked so cute just waving to me. I hated leaving them, but it was only for a few hours.
William, the one who always falls asleep in the oddest positions...reading a map. We found him here fast asleep before we went to bed.
Judah wearing Daddy's tie when he got home from work. Judah looks the most like his Daddy!
Caleb at his party...the cake shaped into the number seven. He was so excited!
Bryn with her first science project this year...she made gliders, made some predictions and then tested it out. She had fun.
On our way to the election co-op for our home school group. Can you tell who we are going to vote for? Esther and Caleb wore buttons and they all had some sort of red, white or blue on. Esther's button had Sarah Palin on it and said, "Read my Lipstick!" Start out the conservatives young, right?!?

OK this may be the most in-depth comment yet.
Here goes:
pic#1: looks like a party's been going on...and I was told let them crawl as long as possible, it's good for the brain development
pic#2: Ps. 81:10
pic#3: I like the red door
pic#4: love every part of this picture, who reads a stinkin' map before bed? smart kids, that's who... and me- a map lover! I like this kid, he may be one of my favorites- simply because of the sleeping position.
pic#5:Can't believe this is your baby?
pic#6: can't believe he's 7- where has the time gone?
pic#7:tell her to stop growing up and get back to her little desk in Amy's office
pic#8: ditto, ditto, ditto

...I'm still getting a kick out of the map reading picture- frame that one!

Pulling Myself Out of the Deepest, Darkest Depression...My Story

Image
     This post has been churning in me for months and knew that I wanted to write it and post it one day. I have been very open and honest about where I have been at the last few years, so some of what I write today may not be a surprise to anyone. Either way, I hope it brings help and healing and promise to some of you.      Two years and ten months ago my husband and I had just got into bed. It wasn't very late...maybe around 10pm. Life had been busy...he had just flown in that morning. He was long distance commuting between Florida and North Carolina with his job. I had picked him up that morning in the Greenville, South Carolina airport and then we headed to a swim meet in the same town for our daughter, Esther. We were there most of the day...stopping at some stores before we headed back to our home in North Carolina. I hadn't talked to my mom in a few days, which was rare. I was super busy and she hadn't called me either. I called her, and she didn't answer.

2020...What does that look like to you? I am ready to BLOOM!

Image
As I sit here at my desk, we have already gone through the first few days of 2020. I keep shaking my head when I think that we are already 20 years into this century. Doesn't it feel like moments ago we were talking about Y2K? So much has happened since then. Matthew and I were talking just this morning that I will turn 45 this year, and how half of my 40s will be over and how fast they have gone. And how difficult they have been. But I have hope. I never lose hope. I got that from my mom. I am expecting a great year. Not because I think I won't have trials this year, it's because I am stronger than ever before. So, a few days ago I was listening to something. I can't even remember what it was. But I heard the word BLOOM. And I instantly knew God was saying that this is my word for the year. I don't always take a word for the year, but I knew God was speaking to me. He told me that this is my year to BLOOM. The old is put away and the new is coming. I am walking i

Warning: Do you think your child may be Dyslexic?

Image
Three years ago today our world changed so much here at the Reynolds Nation. On that day we found out officially by the psychologist that Judah was dyslexic. I had been concerned for about 9 months that he was...I had heard on Good Morning one day what are some of the signs of dyslexia. Though I always watched my kids for dyslexia, Judah just didn't have the classic signs... like the turning of the letters B, D and P.  Everyone always looks for that, but Judah didn't do that. But he was behind in his reading. And wasn't progressing in a rate that was okay. So, we had him tested. And it was confirmed. And on that day I started an intense search to find what help we could find for Judah. Several people pointed us to the Barton Reading and Spelling program...and that's the avenue we took. I took the training program and I tutored Judah...he went from a reading level of a kindergartner/first grader to a sixth grader when we were finished with the program. And then I s
