First Day of School

The first day of school for our new school year was August 23! 

We are part of Classical Conversations this year.  I will be tutoring the 9 and 10 years old.  

So far I love it!  We work through Science Experiments, Fine Art, and all the memory work.

Raegan is starting 5th grade

 She is 5 ft tall.  She has grown so much over the summer. 

She is quite the young lady now.  She loves to paint and draw

Cooper is starting 3rd grade

Jackson is starting preK.  He is so excited about

attending Mommy school.  He is learning to read.

Chance is starting preschool but he is mostly destroying, I mean playing and listening.

He loves to sing the Latin from our Classical Conversations CD

We are excited about our 3rd year of homeschooling.  We look forward to 

spending time learning all of the many things planned for the year.

Reading

Writing 

and Arithmetic... bringing back memories of the school days song 

that my parents LOVED to wake us up too

Chance is 3!!!

 Dear Chance

Our sweet youngest child.  

You are a bundle of activity.  

Daddy says it is because you have to keep up with 

the bigger ones. 

You were our smallest baby of the 4. 

You weigh 8 lbs!  Your heart and determination is MUCH bigger than you.

  Pray that God uses it for his glory.  

Daddy is your light of your eye.  You look at him in such a different way than any other person. 

I love to watch you talk, snuggle, and smile at him.

You are content sitting his lap or being next to him.

You are also our only thumb sucker.  It has to be "the thumb" too.  Your left one is the one!

Rae Rae, as you call her, is your only sister but you love her so much.

She helps you out when you are in need or trouble. 

She loves to make "nestes" for you.  You are the baby bird and you just snuggle down into it.

Cooper... well that one is a "special" relationship in itself.

He would give you his last piece of candy and then next make you scream

But you love him just the same

Then there is you and your right hand man.

You are only 19 months apart.  You have such a special 

relationship with Jackie (as you and I call him)

I pray that this relationship stays there for a life time.  

Your favorite stuff animal is Stitchy

You getting to meet Stitch.  

You bring sunshine to our lives.  

Your dark brown eyes and the gleam in them.  I know we are in trouble when i see it

Praying that God gets ahold of  your heart and makes a 

GREAT and MIGHT man of God out of you.

Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!
