Jan 2010

And here we are again. . . laughing that it has been a whole year since I posted about how I was really going to try to post more often! I guess maybe I was thinking once every two years or so? LOL!

I guess we have had so much LIFE happening in our home that I just haven't found time to write about it.

Here are some of the things I'm looking forward to this year in our home:

• pre-readers who are ready (that is 6 children!) will be doing a short 6 week intensive phonics course using Tartaras Phonics program. My good friend will be doing this class with my 6 and 1 of hers. I will take another of hers and 2 of mine who are older and we will be going through "Grammar Ace" and through the "Mathematical Mystery Tour." Should be fun and interesting. We'll be meeting 2-3 times a week for an hour or two.
• Continuing to adjust and work towards healing the hearts of our 6 new children.
• A GRAND gardening adventure coming up as soon as the snow clears. We will be quite the "weeding team" this year!
• working out new Grand Plans for the older children and helping them to implement them.
• Country Reports currently being researched and written/displayed by our older children (kind of suggested by me, but very much their own projects!)
• Lots and Lots of reading aloud together
• An always continuing focus on what really matters: God and His Word.

hmm. . . I'd love to say I'll post more this year. . . but I'll most likely be back sometime in January 2011!
