And although we haven't finished this homeschool year yet, next year's is taking shape.
For financial reasons, we've shortened our cle order considerably, and are hoping to rely on some elements of the Old Fashioned Education curriculum - latin for H for example, and CIMT Math for both of them. This seemed a good idea at the time, but I'm now starting to worry about it.
For H especially, CLE has been a blessing. With her Aspie need to know what's going to happen next, she finds the predictability of the format soothing, and has been getting on so well, it's taken nearly four years to get her this far, and I'm terrified that a change will set her back. Still praying about it and may yet be frantically emailing halfmoon books to get me that math course at the last minute LOL.
Wednesday sees her first day as official 'help' to a young friend of ours from church who has a young baby. She is also the girls' piano teacher. H loves babies, and all things home, so she is really looking forward to being 'the girl' for half a day a week. Since the young mama in question also trained as a child nurse before marriage, I know my daughter will be getting a useful education, as well as helping out a friend.
To ease the pain of envy, I have offered to give Boo an extra riding lesson when H is 'on placement'.

So very nice to meet you! I am just thrilled to now have a friend from the UK. I went back and caught up on your Homeschoolblogger posts and also jumped over to at least look at your pictures at Homesteadblogger. I will have to return later to read more of your posts. You "new" home looks lovely! I would love to have a brick cottage, but they aren't too plentious around here. lol You must be busy gettling settled! It looks like you have been busy with the yard as well. Will you be planting a garden? I see you have girls (adorable) and horses. How old are your daughters? Ours are 13 & 10. Getting a new shipment of books is always so fun. Our oldest daughter doesn't take change well either and after a few years of math that went from one thing to another too quickly, I finally found something last year that is working well for her - but it was quite a search. I have been thinking about posting about my order this week as well. Oh my, I have to say good-bye for now, we are having some severe thunderstorms today (after having very humid & hot 91-95 degree weather) - so I blog a little and then have to turn off the computer while more lightening goes through. :) Thank you for your kind comment!
Blessings to You and Yours.
Your New Friend,
