Clan of Ham

Clan of Ham Follow the Cunningham Clan as they grow, learn, and create a life they love on the road. We are giving up a 3,000+ square foot home for a camper.

​Once upon a time, an obsessively organized, red-headed writer fell in love with a good old boy with a passion for agriculture. It was a whirlwind fairy tale romance, they met on Myspace (talk about dating us) the beginning of November, met in person Thanksgiving weekend, got engaged their third time to be together on New Year's Eve, and married the following July in 2007. Unlike most fairy tales

it didn't end happily ever after with the happy couple riding off into the sunset, but what followed was a series of ups and downs. Throughout our now 17 years of marriage we have seen hardship and pleasure, like any other family, but the connection through Church that brought us together has sustained us. We have lived in 13 homes, lost our job 7 times and worked countless temporary positions in between, often scraping the bottom of the barrel for flour and the cruise of oil in making ends meet. However, we've also been blessed with a strong marriage, 7 children (one of which is in Heaven today), a dependable extended family, and loving Church home. It has been truly a well lived life, but now we are taking a big new step. Our family has decided that while we love many of the aspects of a traditional life, it's time for something new. A conventional life with a home and a settled job has had some draw backs. We have a big home full of love and excitement, the satisfaction of seeing newly planted fields, and familiar patterns. And yet, we've also had to move countless times, struggle with a feeling of merely being temporary nomads, and be tied down with a demanding work schedule that has often required the husband to work from before day light to far past dusk with no appreciation for his labor. And so, we are taking this crazy show of ours on the road.

​Our family is making the jump from the typical to the unconventional, and inviting you to ride along with us. We are giving up the search for a typical and settled job, to work remotely. We are going to horde memories instead of stuff. We are going to pursue adventure on this new path. We are a homeschooling family of 8 taking a leap of faith trusting in God that this is the next step of our journey. We'll share our ups and downs as a large family, experiences on the road, tips and tricks to successful homeschooling, and the way we create a life we love, all while pursuing the abundant life. Come and join us as we make our own happily ever after.

Today, we visited the Fort King Festival. Located in Ocala, it commemorates the Seminole Wars and that period of Florida history. While there, we were able to learn more about the Seminole people, craftsmanship, and way of life. We also learned more about American settlers. Britt found a new blacksmith mentor, and he will be practicing with him at monthly events. Great day.

For this week's Adventure Friday, Uncle Benji met us at Burritt on the Mountain in Huntsville. While I believe it is a bit overpriced, we had a nice time. The Burritt Mansion is certainly unique in its design, and there are also a collection of cabins, dog trot houses, and homes furnished in the style of the early 19th century. The view of Huntsville was amazing. It was so clear we could see all the way to the Tennessee River.

Early in September, we knocked another state forest trail off of our list at Welaka State Forest. The Mud Spring Trail is picturesque with giant oaks and over hanging branches. The trail curves and turns just enough to keep a mystery about what is ahead.

One of the most amazing Presidential homes I have visited is Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Gary first took me there on our honeymoon. This past July we were able to share the experience with the kids.

Well, despite feeling like this won't be a smooth election, I did my civic duty and voted for the lesser of two evils. You may not agree with me on who that is, but regardless of who wins, here is some good advice for tomorrow...

Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing meekness unto all men. For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lists and pleasure, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. -Titus 3:1-3

Gary and I love the Shenandoah Valley so we planned to take the kids there this summer for a small family vacation. One highlight of the trip was driving the Skyline Drive.

We haven't carved a pumpkin in years, despite the fact that I enjoy it. In fact it has been so long that Kate didn't know why we got a pumpkin. They all voted for their two favorite designs and this is the pumpkin that got the most votes.

Happy Halloween!

We are enjoying the Shenandoah Valley and the Blue Ridge mountains this week. Today, we rode the Skyline. #shenandoahnationalpark #shenandoahvalley #mountains #nationalparkservice #homeschoolfieldtrip #homeschoolingforthewin

Since I have shared my new Bible journaling notebook in the last three weeks since I started it. Here it is. I have a mix of things in it: notes from Bro. David's series on end time theology, thoughts on the book I am reading "Thoughts on Divine Providence" by Elder Hosea Preslar, and some lettering of verses and hymns. This particular hymn has been stuck in my head this week, but it is about impossible to find it to this tune online. Hymn: "Give Me the Wings of Faith" Tune: Gaines
