Pen Pal for Abby

Isaiah 28: 9-10 “Whom will he teach knowledge? And whom will he make to understand the message? Those just weaned from milk? Those just drawn from the breasts? For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept, Line upon line, line upon line, Here a little, there a little.”

I have some news about Abby that she's very excited about.  She has a Pen Pal!!!!  Hurray! 

I get on the Sonlight Forums pretty regularly, since that's the curriculum we use and love, and another mom out there had a little girl wanting a pen pal.  We e-mailed back and forth after finding out if Abby would want a 'mail friend', and it's all set.  This little girl is a little older, but will also mostly be drawing pictures with a few words here and there.  I think it will be great fun for them to have something to look forward to in the mail, and on top of that might end up being good writing practice. 

Than, after this sweet lady started the thread on Pen Pals, it seemed like everyone jumped on the boat.  'My son wants a pen pal, too' and 'My daughter mentioned something about wanting a pen pal, she's 11' and on it went.  It was so neat to see children of all ages start matching up around the country right before our eyes, just because this lady had the great idea to start it.  God bless her.  I think she started a good thing.  Abby is anticipating her first letter, and I can't wait to see her excitement when she recieves it!

Hello! Dropped by from the Sonlight Forums and wanted to tell you that your children are beautiful.:-)
I'm the one at the forums with whom you've been chatting about the Usborne books.

Have a great week of learning!

About Me

Welcome to our homeschooling adventure! My husband and I made the decision to homeschool our children while my oldest, Abigail, was still in my womb. We have two children now, Abigail and Abram, and both have been homeschooled since birth. Abigail is 5 and about to start her second year of recorded school, and Abram is 2 1/2 and about to start his first. My husband, Josh, was homeschooled until graduation, and I am the Mama and teacher that is blessed to be his wife! I was public school taught (except for two years) and was blessed with some awsome teachers and had awsome parents--but I believe homeschool to be superior in so many ways. I can't imagine not teaching my own children at home!!!
