Just a little about Us!

Terry and I married August 5, 1994. Forever and a day ago!! We have lived in Emory the whole time. Starting in a rent house for the first year then moving to our house we built and live on now! Yes, lots of BLOOD, SWEAT, and TEARS have gone into building this little house ourselves. In March 2000 we had a little girl Hannah Shalyn, and in 2004 SUPRISE we had our little boy Garrett Otto. Both of our children were named after family members. Hannah's middle name being a combo of Terry Lynn & Shala. Garrett's middle name Otto was Terry's grandfathers middle name!

I plan to homeschool Garrett we have already had our first year of preschool behind us! We have a bigger preschool plan for this next year!! We attend a Co-op in Sulphur Springs and have made MANY new friends there! We are also members of the C.H.E.S.S group, Christian Homeschool Educators of Sulphur Springs.

Hannah has Autism and is in public school. She lives on the structure the school gives her, so I guess I will never be able to have her here with me. But she has had MANY acheivements this year!! First being that she has been on the all A honor roll every six weeks so far!! She is in the 3rd grade and spends about 90% of the day in special Ed. classes. The second thing, she was in the Special Olympics in Emory and won 2nd place in the 100 Meter Walk!!! WOW, we are so proud of her!

I know you may wonder why I named my blog "Keeping up with the Stone's". Well I know everyone wants to be like us!!!! Insert tons of laughs here!! Well then again why not? But on the serious side I just wanted to give a place that friends and family can go and check in on us. See what we have been doing or what's on my mind?
