An Update....

Time has like usual slipped away from me. It's October already! We are well into our homeschool year.

This year we have chosen to do a unit study approach to keep things as simple as possible.

ZL and A are doing Prairie Primer. It is based on the Little House series of books by Laura Ingalls WIlder.
You can read more about it here  

We are meeting with two other homeschool mama's and their children each Monday to do the activities together.  We are enjoying it immensely! It is a great addition to our school year!!

G, Red, & M are using Christian Cottage Unit Studies this year. There is 3 volumes; each one covering a different theme such as American History or different cultures; Geography.
You can read about these unit studies here..  

A review you can read here.. 

JN is focusing this year on learning all his letters and numbers. I am using an Abeka Phonics workbook and other workbooks of various kinds for his numbers. He is good with numbers but has to work harder on his letters. He is improving all the time!
A reward we have promised him is a dessert at a place of his choice once he knows all his letters.

Blessings so far this year:

My two oldest boys; J & Z graduating from our homeschool! We have graduated 3 children so far!

These same two boys leave in late January 2015 for Marine Boot Camp. !!!

A new baby girl on the way! Our first time having two dd's in a row in 20 yrs of marriage!  My dd's have all been 7 years apart.

My love getting a good raise!

Restoration of relationship!

How about some new pictures??

The two littlest enjoying Thomas the Tank Engine...

 
Me! My most recent womb photo!

The girls at their Frontier Girls Induction ceremony. I am co-leading the group this year with a fellow homeschool mama.




First pictures of little missy!



JN spent all summer catching toads and frogs!


This year Father gave me this scripture!  There have been some rough roads we have had to walk down this year also and knowing He is in our midst singing over us fills me with gratitude and peace! 



I will end on this note...
Heading out with a song in my heart!!

  1. I think my comment was just lost. Okay, so again:

    You look great! I've been wondering how you've been doing. I figured you probably had gotten an u/s by now and know whether you're having a boy or a girl. Congrats on another girl! I hope you have a healthy rest-of-your-pregnancy! Love you!
