New Year

This last week since Christmas has been really lovely and relaxing. I have hardly been out at all.  (I am dreading our next big shopping trip, which will be due soon!)  My boys (7,6,5) have been playing the Nintendo Wii that we got for Christmas.  The original plan was that it would be put up and taken out when we all played together.  But it has been a wonderful, quiet, and settling activity for my busy boys.  it's only been Sam (6) who has had to be reminded to have a break.  The others have been playing outside and with their other Christmas presents, and their baby sister!

We have this week, then next week, then we are off to Bribie Island for two weeks.  It will be so nice to have that time together as a family.

Then, when we get back, I'll have to work out what we are going to do for schooling.  I love reading about unschooling and natural learning.  The structured, formal-style learning was what I thrived with as a student .  It was even what I studied as a teacher, and I always thought my children would be the same.  But, they're not.  I know that God will help me to find the delicate balance between the two.  It will be Christ-directed learning.  Lord, help me to listen!

Have a happy new year!
