Howdy there! Welcome to Orchard House

I am so excited to be here and chatting out the little things in my head.  It has been a while since I had a blog that I shared openly, but here I am again...and I am so, so ready to write here the happenings around this little house of ours.  

A bit about us.

I am Lori Beth.  Early thirties and what my family calls a "earthy, bohemian attitude and outspoken gal".  I am married to a "cozy and handsome" man named John--but I call him Wyles.

We have four daughters between the two of us (both of us had previously and unfortunately been in unloving marriages).  He has two older girls that we enjoy getting some visits with and then I have Emma Beth who is 13 and such a joy.  She has been an old soul from the moment she was conceived I am just certain of that : )

John and I also have Ella Beth who is 4 and is a little firecracker and loving sweetie.  

Hence the name of our school--which we have been doing for 5 years now.

Orchard House!  was the name of the home that the Little Women writer Louisa May Alcott shared with her parents and their 4 daughters.

Also I was raised in a family of 4 girls and so I am just a happy little lady to have all these girls with me, too.  And John was born to be a Daddy to his daughters!  God is so good and welcome one and all.  I want and hope to write here about our family and schooling.  About our adventures and ideas.  

Goodness Gracious!  I am so excited to be here!
