"It's a great day for surfing" Isaiah Jones

Today is the perfect beach day.
The sun is out, the clouds are few and far between and the water's just right.
Tomorrow may be a different story if Fay comes in. (the expected hurricane).
Last night we took family pictures... enough said about that!!!

Today we rode down to the Blue Parrot restaraunt and had some grouper, scallops and shrimp. Chris and dad enjoyed a good anugs burger!

Tonight we're going on a "sunset cruise". It's a boat ride from 5-9 PM that will include sight seeing of the Apalachicola Forest with bears and alligators! Can't wait to get pics of this.
Then we'll stop and swim and be able to get great shells and sand dollars (from what we're told).
They'll take us around the island bay and beach side... I think this is gonna be fun!! The kiddos should really enjoy this trip!

"It's a great day at the beach!" Isaiah Jones

Jones, party of 10

The Jones family has made it safely to Florida.
We had a good, but long, trip.
We're supposed to get rain all week and a class/level 1 or 2 hurricane on Wednesday.
Sounds like an eventful week!! I think Chris is excited about this. He told me "I would like to live through a hurricane."

WHAT???

New Ride

I am so excited about the new vehicle we just got!
We've been so blessed by God!!
We were able to get a 2007 Ford Freestyle.
I had never seen one until yesterday when we got it.
Our friend Jim from church was able to find it for us. It's white with silver on the bottom.
It's a neat little ride. It's considered a cross-over so we don't know whether to call it a car, van, truck or SUV.
Maybe we should call it a cruck.
We drove it today for about 7 hours to Macon, GA. Tomorrow we'll make the rest of our trip to St. George Island, FL.
We had a good trip today. Isaiah was pretty whiney the 7 hours so tomorrow I think we'll put him in mamaw and papaw's SUV!!! HE HE!!

My Father's World

It's official...
I just finished ordering Gracie's Kindergarten curriculum. We will be using "My Father's World".
After much searching online and asking many questions, I feel this is going to be a good choice for her!!
I can't wait for it to all come in. I'm hoping that it will be here when we get back from vacation!!
She's excited and so am I!!

So busy

I've not posted in forever! You could say I've lost touch with the internet for awhile.
Now having internet while at home makes it really difficult to keep up with "Keepin' up with the Joneses!!
Our latest news is that we've moved again.
We were in the 1 bed 1 bath apartment just over a year.
We've now moved into a 3 bed 2 bath home with plenty of room to play, sit, homeschool and just have fun!!
We're so blessed and excited to begin "normal" again.
We leave for vacation on Friday for a week at St. George Island, FL with my parents and brother's family.
This is a much needed vacation!!
After that, Gracie will start school here at the house.
The Lord gives you what you want, as I wanted to be a teacher when I was younger!
Now that we have a home, we have internet. I just have to go into our storage building and find our desk top!!
Both our lap tops have bit the dust for some reason. I miss them!!!
So, I use Chris' work computer when he brings it home.
I'll gradually get back to posting more regularly!!
PEACE!
