Happy Easter. This is the day the tomb was found empty!! This is the day that Jesus went to heaven to be with His Father. One day I'll live with them...FOREVER!!
It's been a very busy two weeks...
Friday March 30th, Bryce and I went to the Science Fair. He won superior for his project. It was about the structure of the eye. It was a pretty good day. I'm very proud of him, beyond the science fair. He's such a good kind hearted boy. I come across lots of children who don't think of anyone but themselves. But he's so aware of others; so sensitive. I got to sit back and watch him interact with his friends and the new people he met at the Science Fair. It makes me all emotional thinking of the kind of young man he's becoming. He makes me proud.
I started my new job this week. Check out the website...WINNIE PALMER HOSPITAL it really is as awesome as it looks. I am real happy to be there. Thursday, Tommy and the kids came up and we went to SeaWorld after I got off and ate at our favorite pizza place...FLIPPERS. We took a drive down International Drive (you know where it take you an hour to go 4-5 miles due to traffic). It was real nice we got to spend sometime in the car talking with the kids and just being silly. Bryce and Tommy made up this game, kind of like punch buggy but since you don't see very many of them around..they were seeing who could find the most Chevys and Fords (Bryce was Chevy and Tommy was Ford). It was so funny, Bryce was having a hard time keeping up with Tommy's count of Fords and as we were driving we seen a HUGE billboard for Chevy with a BIG Silverado truck on it...I said "Hey, Bryce that has to count for like 100 Chevy's"...he agreed!!
All five of us went to sunrise service this morning. It was pretty cold!! It was a beautiful sunrise, slowly it warm up to a balmy 50 degrees. But the breeze that was constantly blowing was a bit chilly. It was so nice to have my whole family there. I am SOOOO happy to say that Tommy gave his life to the Lord Monday April 2, 2007...it's nice to have my husband to stand beside in faith, I've been praying for this for many many years!!
Now, we're off to go visit family, lots of great food and Easter egg hunts...I hope that you enjoy your Easter! |

As far as English/Language Arts goes... Dash is currently enjoying Switched On Schoolhouse Language Arts on the computer. It's from Alpha Omega and starts at level 300 (for your older son?). There's a free placement test online you can check out. Basically read through the lesson, play a few games online pertaining to the info you read, and then take a quiz at the end. It includes spelling and grammar. For readers, I have a separate set of books from the Sonlight list.
AO also does Lifepac's that have a series of 10 workbooks to go through. More self-paced. I don't know if any of it would be considered exciting though... For us, it's just something "we do"...although we do love our read-aloud's and individual readers for the kids-- those are quite interesting actually!
Have a blessed Easter Sunday! I still can't believe how chilly it is...
