Wow! I can't believe it's the end of June already! Where does the time go?!
Anyway, we're enjoying our summer. As I mentioned before, we continue doing a little schoolwork everyday - I leave my oldest a short list and then he joins me for 1 lesson. I'm impressed with how he has stepped right up - he only complained the first day or two of summer "vacation." But, his ability to work independently has greatly improved (at long last). As a result, my 7 yo is making greater stides in her reading.
It makes such a difference to have the "pressure off." It makes me wonder why, as homeschoolers, do we feel so much pressure during the school year? We are so trained by our government school upbringing to load up our days and charge ahead, and then set it all aside in June only to fall back again. What a strange race it is! Good riddance!

I am having a hard time Hs this summer as we are having too much fun. To me it seems time is passing more and more faster the older I get. Scary as I do not wish to age any faster. I cannot squeeze everything in and then poof another day is gone.Oh well, at least I am blessed and can be grateful I am here.
