Feb. 8, 2010 - A Good Article By the Washington Post
I read this article off the Internet today. You have to read it. It is actually a positive and intellectual article written about the Focus on the Family Superbowl Ad. It is written by a woman named Sally Jenkins who is pro-choice. That's right! You read correctly. A pro-choice woman wrote a kind article about a pro-life issue. In fact, she claimed that the women at NOW are a little off their rockers.
Well tell me what you think.

Feb. 8, 2010 - The Focus on the Family Super Bowl Ad
I realize that people just want to complain because it is Focus on the Family. I heard that women's groups protested the airing of this commercial. I heard that abortion groups said that the ad promoted violence against women. Boy, Jesus was right when he said that satan is the father of lies. These women's groups desire a reason to protest Focus on the Family. The ad was so mild. It was bland. I read a comment on an online newspaper where someone honestly admitted that even though she hated Focus on the Family, she could not find anything wrong with the ad. I kept thinking, "Wow! One person actually saw the truth." It was like a calm in the sea of noise.
People, go on youtube and watch the commercial. It is harmless. No one is going to fall apart or get zapped. Evil is trying to work its way by making a sea of noise. Watch the ad and decide for yourself.

Feb. 3, 2010 - Humbling Experience
My older son went to the Festival of Strings last night. He auditioned for a seat. He got 14th seat. It was upsetting and very humbling. The lady who did the seating that night said that it was middle of the road. He is 14 out of 30 children. So, he was not the best, but he was not the worst. I was wondering if we should have done this program. I really think that maybe we should have waited until next year.

Jan. 29, 2010 - Weekly Report
My younger son had a good week. We are still learning how to convert in math. He is learning how to convert grams into kilograms. I told him to think about last week's lessons. He learned about meters and kilometers. So, it is the same idea. I just hope that he sees it. He is getting better at his workbook problems. One day this week, he actually got 100% of the problems correct. I am happy to see this. Math is his struggle. Any amount of success is a step in the right direction.
He completed lesson 14 in Latina Christiana I. He also did lessons 76-78 in First Language Lessons 3. I just wanted to say that the lessons in Latina Christiana and First Language Lessons were about predicate nominatives. He learned in Latina Christiana how adjectives have to agree with the noun they are describing in case, number, and gender. The sentences that he had to translate were predicate adjective sentences. In First Language Lessons, he had to diagram predicate adjective sentences.
In Story of the World, he learned about the Rus and the two Ivans.
He is learning how to stack in Building Thinking Skills Level 2, the figural section. They did some Mindbenders too.
I want to share the exciting news! My older son finished Our Island Story by H.E. Marshall. Yay!!! Party! He completed the book. He will now read this Country of Ours. Another bigoted book! I know that some of you must wonder why I would allow my child to read such books. I know that bigotry is out there. I cannot deny it. I think that it is better that my children learn about prejudice in the home environment where we can talk about it and work it through. I think that teaching prejudice this way is better than them getting it outside of the home.
He did Henle 1, exercises 24-25. He did Building Thinking Skills Level 3 verbal. He is in the reorganizing section.
Here is the exciting news! My older son just completed Primary Mathematics 6B. This means he is totally done with Sinapore Math's Primary Mathematics!! My older son is out of the elementary math. We are now going on to a new and exciting adventure in mathematics. We are moving on to New Elementary Mathematics!
We have an exciting school year. My older son is working in Henle year 1 and now New Elementary Mathematics. New challenges await us.
My older son is practicing to be in a Festival of Strings Orchestra. It is sponsored by the Ridgewood Symphony Orchestra. He is in third violin. This is his first year. He has some challenges here because he has only 2 weeks of rehearsal and then they perform.
The boys had no music program this week because of snow. They only had private piano lessons. They are working in a book called the Leila Fletcher Piano Course.
My younger son is in Book 2's Discovery 7 of TnT in AWANA. My older son completed Book 4. He is going over his golds and silvers.

Jan. 28, 2010 - Well the good news
I went to the doctors about my younger son's boils. He said that my son needed some creams. The doctor was not going to go heavy with antibiotics because the boils were so small. I was glad. Pray that they go away.
I went to the doctor about my blood pressure. They checked it. It was fine. The EKG came up OK. I need to do blood work. Hopefully that will go well.
My husband had laser surgery on his eyes. He still cannot see. I pray that he gets back his sight soon.
Please pray for our family.
