I'm back....again.
I'm sorry for not keeping up my blog. I just haven't felt all that inspired to write lately.
We started school back up this week. It has been slow going trying to get the boys motivated. Rayman is in AO year 3 this year and has a lot of work to do. I'm afraid he is getting discouraged. He is complaining that he always feels behind in his work. I broke some bad news to him today. Last year was our first year doing studied dictation. I was having him do copywork on MWF and SD on TTh. Well, I discovered this week, I should have been having him do both every day. That didn't go over too well with him.
Rayman has been chomping at the bit to study chemistry, so I bought a copy of "The Periodic Kingdom" by P. W. Atkins. He is enjoying it so far, but is already complaining that it contains, "...that evolution garbage." I told him that unless it is Christian, he will have to weed out "that evolution garbage." I printed a copy of the periodic table for him months ago and he was studying it intently for weeks. I wonder where this is all going to go.
Little Man is officially in school this year. We started AO year 1 (Po Po is joining in also). So far he seems to be enjoying it. His reading is really starting to take off. Po Po is learning to read now. Pretty soon all my children will be reading well. It almost feels like when I finally potty trained Po Po. It was exciting, but also sad at the same time (not that I enjoyed changing diaper, lol!).
If there are still any of my friends out there, I would like to ask for prayers for my brother. He graduated from high school in May and is taking advantage of his freedom, much to the heartache of my parents. I won't go into details, just that he needs prayer.
I'll try to keep updating...
