My family – Newie Stew

I am a homeschooling mom, an artist, a small business owner, and have been happily married to Dave for almost 15 years now! He has been my hero on more than one occasion! I am truly blessed to have him!

We have four boys. The oldest one I brought with me to the marriage. In fact he gave me away at the tiny, little train depot wedding we had on New Years Eve, 1994! It was so adorable! He was only 7 then…now he is a big, tall 21! Here is a photo of Buddy right before giving me away!

My little Buddy then...

My little Buddy now!

We have three more boys together and had I not stopped trying to have a girl, we would have a whole baseball team by now! There have been no girls born into this family since before the Civil War!

I tried…but, hey…

To be totally honest…I’m quite glad I have boys! They are great!

I know I don’t look like it in the above wedding photo, but I really am quite a Tom-Boy! I grew up with three brothers, so I am used to all this boy stuff! And truth is…I don’t think I would have known what to do with a girl if I’d had one! I didn’t even have a sister…so, my little girl would have been raised without ANY froo froo!

The three younger ones are home schooled. And although it was only a temporary deal when we started a few years ago… I have come to love it and made the decision last year to keep going all the way! I love watching my boys grow and mature into wonderful young men. I don’t want to miss a thing!! And it would be awful lonely here on my planet alone all day! Some days I highly question my sanity, but for the most part, we have a great time and enjoy learning together.

Worship outside on a warm winter morning!
