Things are going pretty well at school. I'm trying really hard to get as much done as I can before the baby arrives in April. Nathan and Esther may be finished with the year by then, and hopefully Hannah and Sarah will only have a month left by then.
I finally broke down and bought the Spelling Power book. I think it will be good for the kids. It gives Nathan a starting point, will help Hannah and should give Sarah a bit more of a challenge.
The girls are doing well in both piano and flute. Nathan is going to start piano soon. I'm looking for a CDrom music theory program that will challenge Hannah. I want to really encourage her music skills. I'm glad she is homeschooling because I believe she will have a lot more time to practice than she would if she were in public school. I would also like for her to start on the guitar, but we can't really afford lessons, and I didn't get anywhere with self-teach videos.
Sarah is starting up on her crocheting again. If she would just get her school done a little more speedily, she could do more crocheting. I'm still working on motivating that girl!!
Nathan still loves his math and likes to read if he can read stories about baseball. Today I had him read to Noah. I thought that was really cute.
Esther is doing well with school, but she is hard to find because she is off playing most of the day. I didn't even get around to school with her today, but she is way ahead anyway.
I'm off to eat a snack. It isn't midnight yet, so I'll just call it a 11:00 snack. I had a mom's night out tonight, which I always enjoy. We are all so busy that we don't get together much. I guess that is the problem with likeminded homeschool moms! 
We talked about why we homeschool, and it was good to hear others verbalize the same feelings that I have. I hope our children will make a big difference in the future. We are certainly pouring our lives into them!
