An Extra Ordinary Life

The End of 2008

Hi,

Wow ,I suppose since I was away in August and September and spent all of October  and November trying to settle back in. It does not surprise me that we are up to the end of November and only weeks away till the end of our school year.

We had a great time overseas. I wish I had tried harder ot get the children to write in their travel diaries but I just did not have the heart. I figuire our photos tell most of the story.

I thought they might forget about the trip as they so quickly settled back into being at home but they surprise and please me by popping u with things they observed so that is good.

So how do I feel this year?? Well a lot more unsettled than last year but that is because the trip threw us off. I was worried about the things they had forgotten but they gained it all back phew..

I am looking forward to having the time to reflect and assess goals for next year.

The changes in the children are amazing moving on to the next levels especially Samuel and Sierra. They have come leaps and bounds. They did  really grow alot when we were away. 

I am really enjoying watching them get excited about the holidays too. They are wanting to do projects and make memories so cute. Even Joshua came up with a Thanksgiving card he made. It was so beautiful.  I was thinking today that we have never not had Thanksgiving no matter what continent we are on.

So on to the next year  year 6...  amazed but still convicted

Hi Karen,

Sounds like you've had a great and busy year.

Yep, we'll be done with school this year in a couple of weeks too.
