Life Updated

I've been really focused on the homeschool aspect of our life recently. I'm loving our new math curriculum! I've heard L say, " Don't get excited yet, Mom, but math is becoming my favorite subject." We've gone with a computer program curriculum where the lesson is audio and visual and then practice is given. It's becoming my favorite because I'm not at her side telling her the problem is correct - the computer gives her that immediate feedback and I'm now available to work with the little guy on whatever he's doing. I'm loving it right now! I hope it goes just as well as we get more into the textbook.

Also, since my wonderful daughter broke her wrist earlier this summer, school started early for our family. So here in town, the local public schools had their first day today as we finished the first quarter of our year. Now, we are off on a three week break! Good thing too. The weather today felt summer-like: we had record breaking heat today at 101 degrees.

Our little man is learning his letters and sounds and is counting to 20. M knows the days of the week, the shapes, his colors, and some of the months of the year. He still can't write his name but oh, well, he's 4. He will get there.

Glen and I have been busy planning ministry opportunities, school items, and life in general. As is typical for us, September is packed with something to do almost every day. I'm hoping to use some of my time off this September to study and blog more about what God is teaching me.
