We are so excited to welcome the arrival of a new niece and a new nephew into our family! They are being united with their adoptive parents (my sister and brother-in-law) on Tuesday of this week; and coming to the United States in 4-5 weeks. Wow! What a blessing and answer to prayer. We all tripped over to my sister's house in another state this past weekend to host a family "adoption" shower; which was a lot of fun. Another sister lives in the same area and let my family invade her home all week. We are a pretty big and loud crew; and she was very gracious! Yet another sister, the oldest, spent the weekend building a reading loft for the new arrivals; which was gorgeous. My older children made several animal print pillows for the loft; as the room is a jungle theme. I should be back to regular blogging now!
The bottom line is; We try not to insist on parent-led learning or gravitate toward child-led learning. We try instead to focus on God-led learning and ask for His input and perspective on every aspect of our home school. That way, when others fuss about what Dan and I are doing and make me second guess our decisions -- I can go back to our decision process and find God's fingerprints, reminding me that this is His way.
