We're dealing with sickness (again!) this week too. I'm so tired of someone being sick.

Looks like things are going great here. We will be finishing our third week tomorrow. The kids are doing so well, and I love teaching them at home. It's so nice, and you can be so flexible. We met some homeschoolers in our area today, so that was a highlight of our day...hope you're doing well, and hope you have a great weekend!

Love, Kathy

I'm glad to visit your blog and see what you're doing. I'm paranoid that I'm teaching my kids too much, then not enough, and it goes back and forth. I came to see what you were doing this week, and I think I'm pretty much on track. This is encouraging. We've had a difficult week however, so we didnt' get too much done in week four! Hope you're doing well....

Love, Kathy
