Ah, Spring break approaches!


 We just finished our last day of school before Spring Break. The boys and I are so excited. We need the break. Then we only have five weeks of school left and we're done! I plan to do a good Spring cleaning and maybe paint our office. It should be a fun week!

The past few weeks we've been trying to work out our plans for the next school year. We've decided to put the boys in a co-op. We're praying they can get in. As far as curriculum we're going to stick with what we did this year. Sonlight for History and Language Arts. Jacob will continue using Saxon for Math, Elijah will use Teaching Textbooks again. We're holding out on deciding about Science until we find out if we get into the co op as the science there will supplement what I would do here. I'm looking forward to another year of homeschooling. Overall it has been great. The boys have loved it, and so have I. I am thankful the Lord has made it possible for me to be home with them and teach them.

100 Days


Today marks our 100th day of school. Wow! I can't believe how fast this school year has gone by. The first half of our school year was awesome. The boys have grown so much and learned a ton. The best part is how close this has brought our family to each other and to the Lord. I never imagined that choosing to homeschool would bring us this close. I continue to see daily that the decision to take the boys out of public school was one of the best decisions we've ever made.

I'm looking forward to what the next half of the school year brings. =)
