This Monday we began our fifth year of home-learning. I can't believe it has been four years since God brought my dreams to fruition. I am blessed!
Our day began with our traditional pancake breakfast.

Grace was not all the way awake. 
After a few quick chores, we headed down to the school room to see their surprises.
Jennifer by her desk, she was excited to get a desk calendar. Jennifer is my organizer!

Elizabeth was glad to start school!

Finally seeing that sweet Grace smile.
After our morning opening time, the girls got busy working.
Jennifer working on Algebra problems.
Elizabeth in one of her new study "spots". She likes to move around a lot as she learns, this can be very distracting when one is trying to divide polynomials. 

Grace loves to paint!
It was a great first day of school! I have found that it is easier to work them into a full schedule, so these first days are a lot of review and fun things!
~Treasuring these precious days in my heart,
