Sun going down on another great week for Team Schlatter home-school, this year we are working a four day school week schedule and we are LOVING it!

30/365 White as Snow.
I have learned so much through this first 30 days of my challenge. First I have learned that if you purposefully search each day for something good to capture on photo, God is faithful to bring that moment to you. Also if you continually do something day after day the routine becomes habit, and I have loved looking through the lens searching for the good ~ God is faithful when we show up. Lastly there are so many moments that I have missed due to not looking for them, and not showing up. Change is a good thing!
29.1.13
29/365 Boo-Boo.
Team Schlatter is staying dry inside today as the rain is falling, waiting on snow maybe soon? Who knows in Iowa! Our weather is just like our memory verse "N", we can only imagine what is coming next. Our photo today is Boo-Boo our cat rescued from a customers motor when it came to get fixed ~ lucky cat :)
28.1.13
28/365 Proud Mom.
Two words that go and hand in hand are proud and mom ~ this was a proud mom sharing her new triplets with us on Saturday. Briana-Sue walked through the barn like a "proud mom" checking on all of her mommy-to-be ewes, and I was a proud mom that I have a such a loving and caring daughter.
27.1.13
27/365 Kisses from Katie.
Team Schlatter was house bound today with the ice-rain-mud, and much to my delight I had picked up a new book at the library Thursday. Now I had forewarning from a friend that the book was heavy, even life changing -- could I ask for anything more on a day of rest when church was cancelled? If you want to be challenged, pick it up, if you want to stay comfortable, pass. LOVED it, watch out Haiti, Team Schlatter is planning trip #3!

26/365 Buddies.
Ben and Larz had a busy day filled with farming, basketball watching, and building a tractor!
25.1.13
25/365 Spam & Eggs.
Over-nighter at Team Schlatter's wouldn't be complete without Spam and eggs with chopsticks. You never know what will be next when these two get together!
24.1.13
24/365 Wrestle.
Team Schlatter got to watch a little wrestling tonight. We went out to support our local Warriors, but I captured this photo during a dual match between New London/Winfield/Mt Union vs. Van Buren. Right when I snapped it I knew what my quote would be!
23.1.13
23/365 Oh My.
Team Schlatter home-school is on letter "O" this week for memory work, it amazes me how they both can take God's word and hide it in their heart so quickly. I thought it appropriate that we use this week's verse with our photo today as I have to search for this little guy to get a glimpse of him ~ but Oh my how beautiful!
22.1.13
22/365 The Gift.
Team Schlatter had to go unfreeze pipes today in Crawfordsville, while waiting in the warm truck Ben made this sketch of a demolition derby. He is blessed with a great gift, and works at it daily.
21.1.13
21/365 Do Not Worry.
Team Schlatter is hanging in the house today with them temperatures in the single digits! But looking out of our dining room picture window I caught sight of this beautiful bird hiding from the winds. After watching closer her and her male friend were sneaking food out of Soldier's dog dish on the porch.
20.1.13
20/365 Team Oliver.
What started as a photo shoot of my new smart phone has turned into a request... Team Schlatter would like to introduce another team today -- Team Oliver. Oliver, the young boy resting in his father's arms (Kurtis ~ Lori's Cousin) was recently diagnosed with acute lymphoblasic leukemia. Today we are requesting that you pause what you are doing and say a prayer for Oliver, his family, and the medical staff that will surround him as he battles this disease. God bless you Team Oliver, Team Schlatter is rooting for you!
19.1.13
19/365 Clarabelle.
Today the Team Schlatter girls got to watch Clara and her 6th grade WACO girls basketball team get 2 wins at home! Hard to believe that 6th grade is here, and half-way to junior high already. Don't blink.
18.1.13
18/365 Lazy Girls.
DAY 18 OF 365 PHOTO BLOG CHALLENGE...
With a four day school week Friday is a day of rest for Team Schlatter, well some of us, the kids and Princess had a great day of movie watching and relaxation. If I haven't mentioned it lately we LOVE home-schooling :)
17.1.13
17/365 Sunrise.
View out our front door today, Team Schlatter is so blessed to live in the country. A funny side to this picture -- I once viewed a beautiful sunset photo on a friend's Facebook page and wished I could be there. Only after looking closely did I realize he took it in my own back yard! Thank you MG.
16.1.13
16/365 Create.
This horse sculpture was created and painted by Ben for his cousin MacKenzie. The scripture is Team Schlatter home-school's letter "C" memory verse.
15/365 Muffin Top.
The picture of the day idea started with fresh blueberry muffins coming out of the oven with our Team Schlatter Tuesday cooking day for home-school. The name of the photo actually came to me first, which made me giggle so I took the shot!
15.1.13
14/365 Diligent Hands.
The word diligent came to mind when watching Briana-Sue working on this knitting project yesterday. Each hand had many jobs to make it all work and she did great!
13.1.13
13/365 The Lord is my Shepherd.
Team Schlatter was able to go to the farm yesterday and see the first set of lambs that were born for the season. Two very excited girls, not to mention two excited dads -- OK lets be real we were all in the barn late last night taking a peek! LOVE that our two families get to share in the adventure of 4-H.
12.1.13
12/365 Teamwork.
We ended the day yesterday late with the Washington Demon wrestling tournament. Lots of photos and videos taken of Ben on the mat, however this photo with him congratulating his friend and teammate was my favorite.
11/365 She's all Heart.
Team Schlatter started the day out early with a visit to the University of Iowa Hospitals to get a heart check-up for Miss Briana-Sue, her heart couldn't be any bigger :) everything looked good and plans for volleyball and track look promising!
10.1.13
10/365 Jump Ball.
Team Schlatter got to take in a WACO Basketball game this evening, and I tried my luck with the new camera on the basketball court. Thought I did all right catching the jump ball.
9.1.13
9/365 Hold My Hand.
This is a photo of my Grandmother Vivian holding hands with her newest Great-Great-Granddaughter Nadia at our family Christmas. What a blessing to see the two of them together.

Team Schlatter home school is back in full swing! Ben was showing us how he can walk on the walls all around the wrestling/exercise room.

Team Schlatter caught this pic on our way to the farm today to prepare the sheep barn for lambing season.

4/365 Sounds Good.
Today Team Schlatter went to the Center for Disabilities at the University of Iowa Hospital & Clinics for an annual hearing screening for Briana-Sue. Good news, her hearing has improved since our last visit!
The picture is of our favorite piece of art work in the waiting room. It is a moving sculpture that is mesmerizing.

3/365 Be Kind.
New Lego model by Ben and "B" of our alphabet memory work for Team Schlatter home school.
Little side note to this verse, when Briana-Sue first read this verse out loud to Ben and I in class she stated that it could be found in 1 Testicles, probably the one verse I will always remember where it can be found!
