After getting rolling on a pretty good routine for a week or so, we took off for our vacation. We had a great time - it was so nice to get away. Earlier this year we "splurged" for Florida resident passes to Disney World, so we decided to spend 8 days with Mickey. Not exactly my hubby's idea of a vacation, but the kids and I loved it
We came home with sore feet, but much more "unwound". The trip was followed by surgery for our youngest. He had corrective surgery on his right foot earlier this year and had to undergo the same surgery last Wednesday. Now his feet match :-) Everything went well and he is getting used to the constraints of being non-weight bearing for a couple months.
School-wise, this was our first time we ever had to worry about getting "behind" in a subject. My oldest is taking a Biology course and must keep up with the classwork, plus we are meeting with a study group going over our Starting Points material each Tuesday night. It took some extra "homework" time for Z. to get caught up, but I think we have it under control now!
Having gone from a fairly relaxed homeschool method to a much more structured or "traditional" method has been interesting. Overall, my oldest is thriving, but it definitely has been a challenge. It is neat to see him rise to the occassion and take initiative to work "outside of school hours" in order to get caught up after our vacation. My boy is definitely growing up!
I'm glad to finally have a chance to sit down and check in here! I actually have lots to blog about, but little time. Hopefully I'll get to share more later, especially about the Generation Joshua group that just started in our area!
