I don't have much to blog about lately, I've been busy researching/planning for next school year.  Finally I'm done.  I have all my curriculum/materials ordered, all except the Prairie Primer.  We are going to do a unit study on The Little House series next year.  I am looking forward to it and it something that interest Madeline, so it sure to be loads of fun learning! 

I haven't posted pictures lately and I know my Mom will be looking, so I thought I'd post some and while I'm at it, I'll introduce our dog.  Ah, the dog.  We welcomed Baby into our family last summer and we are still not adjusted to being dog owners.  Madeline has been sooooo responsible with her and her fear of dogs is subsiding, so it has been somewhat positive.  Except for the house training, lol!  Baby is a Maltesse, Peckingnese mix called Peckatesse.  She really is a good dog and the kids sure love her!  Baby turns 1 on May 17th.  Introducing......Baby
