Feb. 2, 2009 - New Blog...Transitioning Over...
Wow, I am kind of sad to be moving on, but at the same time, I feel the time is right.
Here is the new blog where I will be posting from now on, please bookmark it: LivingWaterHomeschool
Ultimately, there were just so many more features at Blogger that I wanted and it's MUCH easier to use, which will be nice.
I won't be deleting this one for a while though. I have 317 entries that I need to figure out what to do with. That's a lot of history! I'm looking into having the blog posts printed into a book from, that way we'll have that to look back on. It's a rather tedious endeavour though, since I have to load each page individually. At Blogger, I'll be able to use websites like Blog2Print.com and simply enter in my blog address to make it into a beatiful book, I inted to do it yearly, I think that will be a neat keepsake.
Once I finish getting this blog all printed, I'll go ahead and delete this blog. I loved my time here, it's neat to look back and read old posts. One of the first I posted here was Noah losing his first tooth, he's grown so much since then, it's unreal.
Anyway, thank you for all who care to read my blog and keep up with our family!!! God Bless!

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
Intro: This week we continue with shaking things up a bit. Children are often so pure in what they say. There is no sugar coating it, they just say it as they see it. Their thoughts can make us laugh, touch our hearts and open our eyes.
Assignment: This week are going to do an “Interview With Mom” and post it to your blog. There are a list of questions below to interview your children with. Feel free to add your own questions or remove any question you don’t want to use. You will then ask your children the questions and post the answers that they give you.

Abby: "Kisses"
WHAT MAKES MOM SAD?

Jan. 23, 2009 - Our Week
I hope everyone had a great week.
I am completely exhausted, I swear we just get busier and busier. I don't think I've had a moments rest all week!
School was great this week! We FINALLY started multiplication which clicked with Noah right away. He found a game online called "Timez Attack" which he LOVES and spends a lot of time playing. Since he understood the concept of multiplication right away, he was able to figure out answers to some of the facts we haven't even come close to learning about yet on his own. I was SO proud of him!
I think the best part of the week was watching the inauguration. Noah had his printed out program and he followed along, checking off each event as it happened. We were all completely moved by seeing Yo Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman playing together, the whole quartet was soooo amazing. I know it was pre- taped and they couldn't play live due to their instruments not staying in tune in the cold, but I don't think it took anything away from it. Even Abigail loved it, she said "that is so beautiful it makes me cry Mama". So sweet. Hmmm, maybe she is more interested in music than I thought. I really enjoyed seeing Rick Warren do the invocation, he's someone I have a lot of respect for and I thought he did a great job.
We didn't do FIAR this week only because I just found out the place I ordered Volume 3 from didn't have it in stock, so I have to re-order it.
Abby did so well with reading! We are about to move onto consonant blends and she is not excited for that. She was sitting in with us for some of the multiplication lessons. She didn't really grasp the conceptsand that is just fine, no rush whatsoever, she has plenty to work on right now!
Layoffs took place in Kris' division at work this past week. Kris was not affected and his particular department wasn't hit too hard. It's not hitting the media too much yet just because they aren't confirming. Layoffs are supposed to hit other divisions next week. Here is one article I was able to find if anyone is interested.
I'm pretty worn out and ready for bed, so that is about the best I can do even though I left out tons of stuff.
Have a great weekend and God Bless!
