But I have fallen off the face of regular blogging. But, I (think) I am back and want to start up again. It is always hard to restart something....the guilty feeling, the sense of failure, the dread of starting and not following through, all of these things go through my mind. Plus, where to start? I certainly can't recount all that we have done for the last two and a half months.
What did we do today? We started school! Maria is a 9th grader and William is a 7th grader and James is a 14 monther that gets into everything. For those of you familiar with homeschooling curriculum, we are doing Sonlight Core 100, Apologia Biology, Rosetta Stone French, ALEKS Geometry, the second half of Starting Points, the second part of IEW SWICC-B or C (depending on which kid), piano, Community Bible Study-Acts, PE with Dr. Gibbs and we are trying out All Out Sports League too. I am sure there are other things, but this keeps the kids busy!
Ken leaves for Abeche, Chad on Saturday, August 1, which happens to be William's 12th birthday and Switzerland will be celebrating 718 years of independence. He will be returning on September 11.....and boy will we be glad to see him at that point.
I am now 1 day away from being 20 weeks pregnant and things are still going great with the pregancy. We are choosing not to find out the gender before the baby is born- we like the surprise.
How was our summer? GREAT! BUSY! FUN! Filled with people, activities, travels, adventures, and all kinds of other things.
Well, time to sign off....hope to post sooner the next time.
Rejoice, O Barren One! Galatians 4:21–31, Part 6
