Nov. 15, 2006 - So much going on, so little time.........
We are on busy bunch. The last few months have been busy, but so rewarding. Back in July we started our own home daycare. We now look after 4 llittle ones as well as continuing our homeschooling journey. This has been wonderful for my own children as they learn about caring for others as well as learning about having a business. Exhausting? Yes. Fun? For sure. We have also started using Sonlight's curriculum. It has been a wonderful decision for us. We are working through Core 1+2 with the boys (9&7) and Pre K for Sighlie. It is so interesting and the kids love all the history. We also started using Singapore Math. This has also proved to be a great choice. The boys have started 4H for the first time. They are in the canine program. This year they are learning all about the care of dogs, training and showing. It is great fun to see them working with their pets. It is hard work for them, but it was a great choice. Speaking of pets, we have increased in size there too. We now have 5 dogs and 3 cats. We love'em all. I wouldn't have it any other way. The kids really benefit from having them to care for and play with, and the companionship is great. We are a bustling home. We just recently finished our Christmas decorating. I really feel the spirit of Christmas this year. It will be our first Christmas at home and without a move interupting it for a couple of years. The military life is great, but we sure are glad to be home and settled this year! This Christmas will be extra special since we know that Mark is going to be deployed overseas next Christmas. We have to celebrate extra hard this year. Sometimes it is so hard to think about him not being here for this holiday next year. I feel God just urging us to be together right now, and leave that for him to worry about. I know that is going to get harder to do as the new year starts to unfold.Comments
