We are more thoroughly enjoying our Sonlight with every passing week, and are happy as can be to continue through the summer! Speaking of summer…Peter’s out of school! He hardly knows what to do with himself, but we’re keeping him busy. 🙂
You know I love sharing pictures of my boys for my family across the nation. Here’s a little glimpse into our house:
This is my treat. To enjoy a wonderful day taking pictures with family and actually post them on my blog the same day!
It was a beautiful day spent with Peter’s family…
It’s not the end of our first year homeschooling, and it’s not yet the beginning of our second, but I felt that we needed something more for our home education experience. We’ve been having a great time doing school at home, but things were falling through the cracks of busy days and life with three boys…and I knew that we could be enjoying it far more. We want to give the boys a feast of wonderful ideas and books and that just wasn’t happening on my own. I didn’t want to make a commitment to a curriculum until we got a taste of homeschooling and a feel for where we wanted to go with our family’s home education experience. Two weeks ago after much prayer and study I was ready to make that commitment and Peter was willing to make the investment, so we ordered Sonlight. It is a literature based program that I can tailor to meet our family’s needs. The package we purchased works for Seth’s kindergarten as well as for Jerome’s second grade. The day we received our boxes and unpacked them was a fun day, and every day since then has been a wonderfully interesting, fun, and relaxed school day! I am thrilled with where we are right now in our homeschooling journey, and I wanted to share some of our excitement with you.
Did you catch Peter’s comment on the last post?
The dog gets very, very excited about bubbles and she busted Ian’s nose trying to eat the bubbles AS he was blowing them. So he’s decided that he needs a safe place to blow bubbles.
Besides bubbles, Ian’s been enjoying ladybugs, which his older brothers are very good at catching and they let him hold them.
Ian is putting two and three words together frequently every day: “Daddy car, go.”. Sometimes it’s a statement, most of the time it’s a question. He wants to hear “Yes, Daddy drove his car to work”, or “Yes, Daddy drove his car to school”. And if he’s up when Daddy comes home in his car, Ian LOVES to sit in Daddy’s car with him. 🙂
The month began with my flu like sickness and unfortunately everyone else in the house has taken turns since. Peter spent his Spring break taking care of me. He was so sweet staying late in the mornings to let me sleep since that was the hardest time of day for me. He would come home, cook dinner if I hadn’t been able to, feed the boys, clean up, bathe them, and put them to bed every night…before dropping into bed himself. Thank you, Peter, for your sweet service to your family.
Here are some of the random photos from our month so far:
