I have been absent from blogging for a few weeks since I have been in Elisabeth Elliot mode . . . "Just Do the Next Thing."  That was her recommendation for moms when things get so hairy that you don't know what to do. It's been HORRIBLY busy around here this month, but I'm hoping we are turning a corner.

Just as I was finally getting a groove in our homeschooling schedule with a new baby, we are taking a 5 week break from "formal" school. In other words, we will do a few hours a week of school, mostly in the morning, but not any of the dreaded subjects! Of course, when I announced this plan, the kids told me that we COULDN'T stop math, science, geography, spelling, history or copywork . . . who knew that homeschooled kids would think vacations from school were BAD!

So here's a photo of our kids and a link to an interesting article --
