Caleb painted this last week, didn’t he do a nice careful job?

I’m so excited because our new curriculum for next year should be here any day now.  I ordered it last week….all from MFW’s website and all their suggestions for everything except Math.  We will continue using Teaching Textbooks.

I’m thrilled that Davy will be joining our school.  So happy!  I do need to order him a cursive writing book, I will get it from A beka.  He is starting 2nd grade with me, just like Grace was when I started homeschooling her.

I still don’t know what to do with Caleb.  It’s the strangest thing.  I go back and forth.  Now, I know God MUST have a plan for him.  Please continue to pray for us as we figure this out.  Rich wants to put him in public school, so we are leaning toward that.  But part (a big part) really wants to keep him home.  I’ve never liked the feeling of David “missing” from the rest of us, but he had his speech issues and we felt that public school served his condition and was necessary. 

Well, when our box of stuff comes I’ll take a picture.  I remember last year doing this and teasing the children that we may as well begin right away……….

Realistically, though, I am TAKING A NICE LONG BREAK SO I CAN ENJOY MY NEW (and probably last) BABY.

We only have a few pages (really, just pages) of reading left, the rest of L.A. and just a few lessons of math to go for Jacob and Ethan.   I’m so happy with how this year has been.  We’ve kept on track all year long.
