May. 31, 2008 - Oh my ... how time does fly!
Well, it is hard to know why I allow so much time to go by in between blogging, but I guess it shows how often I journal (I am NOT a journaler in my quiet time with God!).
Anyway, we have 2 more weeks of school before we start on our summer schedule. I'm really hoping that we can finish up the math and language arts early so we can spend more time in our history (we are doing American) and science (astronomy) and can have some fun projects this summer.
Hannah will be home in 2 1/2 months (YAY!) and she'll be going back to Sauk full time with a major in Theater. She should finish her AS in May and then is hoping to transfer to Huntington College in IN for a BS in Theater.
Nathan is continuing at Westwood online for Game/Art Design.
Bethany and Bekah will be attending Sauk either 1/2 time or full time, they are not sure. At this point they are not quite sure what they are going for, but possibly an AS liberal arts degree. But they have time to work on what they are wanting to do. We generally give our children 1 year after graduating to work on things they are interested in. They have to fill up 40 hours in a week with either college classes, work, ministry/volunteer work, personal development or professional development. This gives them the opportunity to find out if there is anything they want to really try but don't know if they'll like it. We found that it works out well to help our children weed out the things they don't want to do.
So, the fall will leave me with 4 children in college at least 1/2 time and 4 at home still schooling here. Interesting, interesting, interesting!
Enjoying the last few weeks of our spring term and looking forward to a bit more of a break during our lighter summer schedule (1 week on, 1 week off).
