Hello Ya'll!
I'm a newbie, introduced to the forum by a fellow homeschooler. My husband is active duty Army and we are stationed in Washington for the time being. We currently have 6 children ages 11 yrs.-2 yrs. that we have homeschooled from the beginning. I am so excited to be a part of this group. I've been afraid to join a forum- I'm computer illiterate!! LOL So I look forward to "meeting" all of you.
God's blessings to all,
Diane

Hi Mary Theresa!
How nice to read of someone else who is .. what some might call a Hockey Widow;) "Our" team is The Detroit RedWings..I tell ya, he eats, breathes and includes them in about every other conversation!! When we first got married, he convinced me Detroit had just as many Canadian players as The Toronto Maple Leafs! So I switched over. I've never understood the violence of hockey  nor the rules, so I basically looked forward to the songs the D.J played for the fans whenever, wherever we went. Now he has children to teach the love of his favourite sport too!
Thanks for writing to me! You have such a pretty name Mary Theresa!!

Hello everyone,
I am a newbie. My name is Jill, but when I signed up in 2006 I was enjoying the nickname my husband affectionately calls me(Kate). My sister ALmom and several friends introduced me to 4real several years ago, but I am a busy homeschool mom and not too good on the computer. I first joined this group back in 2006, but then could not figure out how to get back on for quite some time (probably over a year).
Anyway now I get on sometimes, but not too often, but I really wanted to post today about the prayer for the dying and then realized I was suppose to introduce myself first. Oops! Sorry!! Then it took me some time to figure out where to go to introduce myself. Thank you ladies for all your sharing, caring, prayers and support! God bless you all!

Do you want us to call you Kate or Jill???

Though I love the name Kate, Jill is probably best as it may be too confusing. I have to admit that when I saw Kate on the signature I was quite surprised!  I don't know how to change the signature though.

Click on settings in the top right corner...
Click on edit profile...
Scroll down to signature and edit away in that box to the right of "signature" - you should be able to remove Kate and change it to whatever...or nothing if you like.

But members do need to have 10 posts before they are able to access all the features at the edit profile section, so you might find you can't change everything yet.

Hello Ladies! I am introducing myself after finding your site yesterday.
I am a mom of 7. 2 in heaven and 5 in my care. I have a ds, Cyprian 6, dd, Helena 4, dd, Anna 3, dd, Eva 2 and ds, Thaddeus 7mo. I have been married for 7 years. I was homeschooled 18 years and grew up in the Pacific northwest; now I live in Canada and am just starting to look toward that more formalized kind of educating. I am Byzantine Catholic and have educated my children so far with living the domestic church and calling upon Solomon the wise to guide me with the multitude of conflict resolution that I preside over everyday. :) I just recently realized that I am building the foundation to education: discipline!

Hello Byzimama, what a great play on words, your Byzantine faith and the fact homeschooling mums are busy!!
I love your children's names, so beautiful!
What little you have said about your domestic church is actually very profound, I look forward to hearing more from you and all the ladies that have found their way here recently.

Hi!
My name is Mindy and I am a Catholic mother of 17 mo old twins (boy/girl). I have been reading on this site for a while now, as there is so much good advice to be found. But I need to ask a question, so I have finally joined.
I am hoping to be able to homeschool when my babies are bigger, and I know this forum is a wealth of knowledge and inspiration. I am so glad it is available and that such faithful people find time to offer their help to others.
Thank

Hello,
My name is Diana and I am mom to six wonderful children: 4 daughters (12, 10, 7, 1) and 2 sons (5, and "Peanut" who is due March '08). I've enjoyed lurking on this forum for quite a while and have finally decided to figure out how to join. One thing I love about 4Real is the underlying Catholicity. I'm in the awkward position of being an Anglican who desperately wishes to join the Catholic church, but am married to an Anglican priest. With my husband's blessing I am able to teach our children the Catholic faith and hope that one day they will become a part of the Church.
I haven't been able to figure out the signature line either, so I'll just put our family blog link here

Oh yes!! There are SO MANY games in a hockey season, aren't there?
I went to a game with my crazy fan once this year. Basically I just sit and laugh at how spazzed out and hoarse he gets. And then I pick the cutest player and teaze him that I want that one's name on a jersey and then I stare are all the other crazy fans then I go get something to eat . . . and, yes, listen to the music and watch the screen for entertainment. . . etc.
does your dh play hockey at all? Mine has three younger bros that are getting him to play on their pick-up team. *sigh* more hockey . . .
He can't wait till we have boys to teach to play, but for now he's teaching the girls to say "GO CAPS CAPS CAPS!" it's really cute.

Mary Theresa,
How funny you are! Next Hockey Game I get invited too, you're coming! I think it'd be so much fun sitting next to you!!
Actually, when I realized The Detroit Red Wings had just as many cute players as The Toronto Maple Leafs, that was what told me it was "okay" to switch over.
Thankfully my DH does not play..he is in a Hockey Pool this year tho. and the phone was "occupied" for a couple of hours tonight as he made his picks for the re-draft! He takes it all very seriously!
Even got the kids Red Wing Jersey's for Christmas one year!
Pick up team, eh? Sounds like Daddy is going to gain some extra muscles (grr..)  Behave yourself now;) ~ hee,hee!
