My How Time Flys!

Wow! It has been forever since I logged in last! We have been crazy busy around here and things just got busier!

We had Simon Nathaniel on December 29, 2008. He was a whopping 8lbs and 15 ounces and 21.5 inches long! No wonder I was REALLY read to have him! LOL He is now 7 months old and becoming mobile and lughs and plays. He is a blessing to our family and a wonderful gift from GOD!

After we had Simon we just took time to get to know him before we started schooling again. Academics can always be caught up but character and family bonds are much harder to "catch up", in my honest opinion.

I then attempted to start us back on sometime of routine and schooling schedule which worked for a while but I soon-we all did-became overwhelmed. I needed to simplify somewhere so I decided to simpify our academics and extracurricular activities. I now have the oldest DD using SOS for Lang. Arts, Science, and History, Saxon math, and A Beka Health. The next one in line needed to do some tutoring in Math and Reading skills to fill in some gaps so I signed her up for www.mindsprinting.com after which she will use the same curricula as the oldest DD. The third in line is using a mixture of Lifepacs and A Beka for almost everything and Saxon for math. The fourth in line DD is using My Heavenly helper curricula, www.starfall.com, and also enjoys www.nickjr.com for games. The next in line is the 2yo DD who is just doing whatever I can get her to do-she is smart but I do not want to start her so young that she gets burnt out but I will not discourage her from trying either. And lastly, but not least, is Simon who just gets to entertain us troughout the day.

I also picked up a home based business to help out a little finacially but still be home with the children during the day. I am an Independant Consultant for The Pampered Chef. I am now coming up on my 30 day mark really quick. My website is www.pamperedchef.biz/susanburk .
