It's been a while since I've posted. Things are moving along, especially with our 14-year-old. We can pretty much just assign his work and he'll do it. We've got to get him a geometry tutor, though. I just can't get into that. It's been too many years, and geometry was never a strong suit of mine.  With Katie, who's 6, I'm having fun teaching her the basics of phonics and reading some simple two-letter words. I was shocked when a friend of mine told me her 3 year old was reading... but I'm not worried. Katie will grasp it here shortly, and then I think she'll be a reading fool! I can't wait until SHE can read to ME!

I'm looking out my window at the beautifully changing leaves. It's amazing how quickly they've transformed from bright green to yellows, oranges, reds and browns. This is my absolute favorite time of year.  Crisp air, sweaters, pumpkins, bon fires, shorter days... this is heaven to me!  Just give me a big ol' mug filled with something hot & comforting, a big, comfy sweater, a book and a hammock... <> wish it would stay like this a little longer!  I think we're gonna have school outside tomorrow!

I started Hannah in K when she was 4 and Sarah when she was 3. Learning the sounds of the letters and simple short vowel words went pretty well, but we hit a slow spot from time to time. With our youngest I am waiting a little longer and going slowly. I don't want us to have the frustration felt when I was working with the others! All this to say that I wouldn't worry about it. Since your dd is older she will probably move faster and even if she doesn't, as long as you are both enjoying the learning that is most important! :) Glad you are enjoying the weather! Me too! We are taking a break from school to just play for a week!
In Him, Eva
