Winter is so up and down for me.  Most days I'm blue, but there are happy days too.  Last saturday, our oldest had a music contest.  He got a I+ on his solo and trio.  His trio was chosen has best of center, so he will be playing it in the next concert.  We are so proud of him.  He is progressing very well on the trumpet.

School is going pretty well.  We are doing some charlotte mason techniques for science and history.  LA and Math is going My well for my oldest two.  My third is still struggling with reading but he is make great progress.  He is doing great in Math.  My fourth, well I don't get school done with her very often, she plays with the youngest most of the time.  But when I do get to her, she does very well.  Maybe I will be able to teach her to read this summer.  We'll see.

My hubby has been working crazy hours since Oct. when he lost a key employee.  There is light at the end of this long tunnel though.  They should finally have the position filled by the end of march.  That's a long story for another day.

Blessings my friends.
