We made it...

We made it, the first week of school is officially behind us!  And on top of that it was a complete joy!  No, I am not holding my breath that every week will be like this one, but it is nice when it starts out good!

Sarah is enjoying her studies, especially the Lord of the Rings Literature study (made doubly fun by the fact that Jay has agreed to read the books this year while she is studying it, he hasn't read them before) and her General Science curriculum which has already consisted of three experiments!

Timothy is enjoying his time as well... I think.  It is hard to remember back to the time when I had to do everything for Sarah, she does almost everything on her own now.  This starting over again is more challenging than I had thought it would be!  But he is doing well.  We are a little over half way through the week of Creation.  After that introduction we jump into 26 units each based on a different letter of the alphabet.

This week has been quite an interesting one in other ways as well.  Monday we had to get the starter replaced in Jay's truck = $200.  Tuesday was quiet and we got to celebrate our 14th anniversary by going out to dinner (alone!).  Our actual anniversary was Wednesday and on the way to church Jay had a rock hit the windshield of his truck (= big crack) and I drove over a nail (= $200 for two new tires!)  Needless to say, we are somewhat glad to see this week come to an end and are hoping next week proves to be somewhat less expensive!
