It has been a busy few weeks for us. We started school a week early, Naomi begged me to. We lost our appeal to keep Alyvia home, but it is looking postive the the fathers right will be terminated in the next 2 months. So hopefully after that the adoption will go fast and we can finally homeschool her. We started swimming again as well.

I LOVE Charlotte Mason's Methods, Naomi is thrilled with school this year. I threw out the lesson plans ( well sort of) she is doing what I planned but at a much faster pace, She is just inhaling everything. I think I will have to get the enrichment reading books because she is going through them so fast. LOL We discovered Making Math Meaningful and for the first time she loves math - She did 10 pages on Mon!!! I think it should be renamed Math without Tears.

With fall almost here, I want to share my ALL TIme Favorite Soup recipe, . I usually make the recipe x6 and freeze the leftovers in meal size containers ( for a family of 6).
