Schooling Update
So how is school going for all of you? I really haven't been keeping up very well. We took a long break while I was sick. Every now and again I read some stories to Jenna and Thomas on a good day...A couple days we asked our nanny to read some stories to them - though we didn't ask her to quiz them on comprehension or such - it was mainly just to keep them interested in books.
Well, in November I picked up the school again and did good for a couple weeks and then ended up slowing down again. I'd hoped to finish the school year in March before the baby came and take a couple months off before starting her next year - we usually school through the year. Well, it seems I won't be making that goal...not with needing to do taxes and catch up on how terrible our house looks right now. My goal is to go room by room and reorganize and get rid of things we don't use and make systems that work better for everything else. Trying to do that and school and normal house stuff (and some crafts too) will probably mean that I will be able to make progress in all the areas but not actually complete anything!
SO - last fall when we were all starting new school years I had intended to post this pdf file I found on the web of encouraging Bible verses.....I never got around to it since we had so much going on back then.....
But now is as good a time as any right? Especially since it's a new year and most of us are looking around and trying to figure out what we can do to improve our situation, emotional and physical health, etc....
So here is the encouragement for us.....

I will keep you posted on my progress in all the things we have going on here. I hope so far this New Year has been filled with many blessings for you!
