It has been 4 1/2 years since we started homeschooling. Then it was me teaching and Dad sometimes watching a historical or science show with the children. Now-I plan and teach all three of them most of the time and Dad is teaching more and more! He has big plans for this year. Our eldest is 1/2 way done with his mandatory education.....and I wonder....what will he be when he grows up? I would love to hear from other moms and find out how and when they first saw their child becoming an adult. My daughter I do have a vision for-her path is easier to see. Well, we start back next week so off to plan I go! |

When I get a chance I like to make real chicken soup from scratch. The whole carcas of the chicken goes in. It tastes good and it is so good for you! I have been dragging myself through a very dry spiritual patch for a while. Knowing with my head that God is faithful and that He alone has all of the answers but wondering why God chooses to be silent sometimes. I felt dry to the very bone at church on Sunday. God allowed one "virtual" soul to "see" me this week and be the stomach of Jesus. It so blessed me! Now I feel that I can once again minister to my family. This dry bone can gather up the parts to make soup and spiritually and physically feed my family. No answers to the big questions yet but I was reminded that He is listening. |

God is faithful. Even when I can see the bottom of the glass and wonder if God knows it is getting empty, He fills it. |

We just read Tomie dePaola's new book Why? It was so awesome! It just covers 1942 and a few family members head to war. He even taught us a few art lessons! Tomie's books are so great to start family conversations with grandparents about "What was it like in 1942 for you Grandma?" |

Tomie dePaola just came out with another biographical chapter book, Why? It is AWESOME! It's all about 1942. He touches on the war in the Pacific and in Europe. He talks about rationing too. His books are always good for conversations with the grandparents. |
