About Me

Greetings!
My name is Jeanette Wood. I am the wife to my best friend, Joe and the mother to ten blessings. We have been home educating our children since birth- our oldest is 19 and our baby is 4. We have given birth to six children physically and four were born from our hearts through adoption. We are currently living in Topeka Kansas- moving from our home state of CA on the first of July 2008. Moving is nothing new to the Wood family. We have moved 16 times in the last 17 years. We never know where this journey will take us yet we are confident that He has only good plans for us and we will follow wherever He leads! We love to live simply and are filled with Thanks everyday for the good work He has begun in our lives. Grab yourself a cup of tea and enjoy a visit with me while I allow you to peek into our hearts and home!

Fun week with Friends!

The Wood family has enjoyed spending time with friends and family the last few weeks. I have posted some photos to share with comments on special memories that were made. I hope you enjoy "peeking" into our hearts and home!

I am excited to share some new Wood family news with you as well...... This last week we had the young man that is courting my daughter stay with us. He has been a TRUE DELIGHT!!!! Shadow Chrstian has  actually been a friend for several years and just asked my Joe for permission to court our Bekah. Bekah was thrilled (and so was Shadow)  that daddy gave his blessing. As a momma, I can tell you that this time is precious and I am treasuring each moment as my children grow.  I must tell you that as I witnessed the process Shadow went through to get his Momma and Daddys blessing as well as mine and Joes, I was blessed! His approach was precious and sweet a memory I will cherrish for years to come!!! My Joe and I are excited to see how the Lord works in this young couples life!

We are also praying and waiting to hear about our move. We have an anticipation that this week we will have more direction. The strike is being voted on starting today and expected to end on Thrusday. We also have a family working on their financing for our property and another that is coming out for the second time this Saturday. Dear Sisters, could you please keep us in your prayers this week? It would mean so much to our family to know you would give of your time to lift us up before the Father. We only want to do His will and are looking for His direction and timing!

I best close this note for now. Enjoy all the photos and don't forget to write or call soon!

With much love,
Mrs. Joseph Wood

I just love this little guy! He can say the funniest things at times!! The children held hands and prayed on thier own. Isn't it a delight to see our children love the Lord?

The Wood family with our Beckham family friends!

The children enjoyed a day at the Lake with friends building sand castles, swimming, and trying to fish!

I am honored that the Lord allows me to really enjoy my children. I am not to busy living that I don't have time to enjoy the simple things in life. I have found it is these moments that bring me great joy!

Wood family and Fickling Friends!

Myself and two of my girls preparing to enjoy tea and goodies with our Sell Family friends!

I enjoyed the fellowship on the front porch with my Sister!

Bethany enjoyed all the animals at the Sells home! She has such a tender heart!

A day at the park with our Callis Friends

Monkey bars, playing tag (even the mommies played) rolling down the hill (yes! I rolled down the hill with my Sammy per his request) and a picnic lunch was time well spent! How blessed our day was with our Callis Friends!

Sammy just cracks me up with this "coon" hat of his!!! He loves to wear it everywhere!

A trip to the bagel shop, coffee shop and the bookstore with my dear friend Cheryl! What a delightful day!!!!

Enjoying a friendship chat over coffee!!
Matthew is REALLY enjoying his bagel with strawberry cream!

Shadow enjoyed a day at the skate park that my father oversaw.

Shadow, my father and then my oldest boy Jed after a long HOT day at the skate park.

Good Morning Mrs. Wood!
Thank you so much for praying for me. I have been out of town so I'm not sure how everything is going. My husband said the children were very well behaved. I do know that my stepson is still dating this girl from school. He isn't being very open about what happened on his weekend class trip. I wish he would be open to courting or a different way of life. Sadly, I'm kind of hoping that when school is out on Friday that the girlfriend will go away quickly.
I try to cook with the seasons also. I'm really working towards eating only what is grown in a 100 mile radius. Are you building your pantry?
Thank you again for your prayers. It makes me feel wonderful knowing I have a friend in CA praying for my family!
Have a blessed week!
~Farrah

Remember - if you haven't moved by the time it really heats up, you get to bring the kids for a swim and BBQ hot dog day!

Fun Moments With My Children!





Funny Things My Children Have Said:






Timothy and Elisha were talking about all the contents of the Ark of the Covenant. When Elisha told Timothy that God had put the 10 commandments in it. Timothy replied with confidence, "Well he had too so that Moses wouldn't break them again!"


After several trips to the emergency room with my Timothy. I said, "Timothy, you really must stop hurting yourself like this. Each time we go through that hospital door it is costing Daddy 100.00!" He sweetly replied, "Is there another way we can get in Mommy?"


As Ezekiel and I poured over the garden magazines we ran across the brussel spouts. Ezekiel had never seen them before and with excitment said, "Momma, Look! They sell bite size lettuce!"


As we prepaired to vacume seal our newly butchered chickens. My Beth-Joy said, "Mom I know we want to seal our chickens but I can't figure out how we are going to get that chicken through that skinny slot!"


Rebekah was blessing me and cleaning out my pj drawer when she came across a new bra that I had purchased. In all seriousness she said, "Mom I just can't figure out why you would buy a bra thats only good for 18 hours!"


Jed was about five years old when he ran out to the kitchen and met me with excitement saying, "Mom I think God made my wife last night! I counted my ribs and now I am missing one!"


Matthew and Samuel were playing when the girls and I overheard them and couldn't help but giggle. Matthew wanted to play house and have a baby but Samuel informed him that, "You can't have a baby, Matthew- you're only a 2T"


While driving I often lose cell phone reception with my Joe. I never realized how much the little ones were listening until one day I overheard them say, "Mom and Dad broke up again!" "No Mommy broke up with Daddy" replied Matthew. "No! It was daddy. He broke up with Mommy again!" Replied Sammy. As I listend I thought it was a good thing no one was ease dropping into their coversation- they would think my Joe and I had a pretty rocky marriage! LOL


While on one of our "girls days" Bethany was having a hard time falling asleep. Grandma encouraged her to count sheep. After a few moments of slience we heard Beths sweat voice say, "Thump" We all thought about it for a moment and then Grandma asked, "Beth what was the thump about?" "Oh, one of my sheep ran into the fence.. that's all Grandma." We couldn't stop laughing for at least an hour.
