Back

One down side to getting back to my normal is not spending much time online. That is good and bad. I am accomplishing things at home that's good, but there are some things that need doing online that fall to the wayside (like keeping the blog updated).

Here are a few pictures from Resurrection Sunday

 

 

We are all doing well and enjoying the spring thaw. It has thankfully been a slow process and with all the snow we had this winter, that is a good thing. Our road is mostly cleared which is great because it gets slushy and rough to drive on there for a few days. I wanted to wash the van after being out last week and seeing all the people washing their vehicles at the car washes, then I drove home on our part snow/part mud road and remembered why our van hasn't been washed yet!

The bigger blessings are enjoying getting outside everyday after school work is finished. They also enjoy the extra time outside due to the increased sunlight hours. It was dusky dark tonight at 10:45 PM, we love that sunshine. We are beginning to get blessing #4 out a few days a week for short times, it would be longer but it has been quite windy lately.

School is progressing well. We began Beyond Five In a Row last week and are using Volume 2 (I think) and reading Sarah, Plain and Tall  and notebooking using a lot of wonderful things from Homeschool Share. We are all enjoying this little change in our learning routine. I want to do some FIAR with blessing #3 next  fall as she does not remember us rowing books back in the day!

Hideaways in History Updates:

We have been moving along in our History overview studies, we had two weeks off from our building helper Mrs. L so last week was back with our visits and fun. Last week we built a Medieval Cathredal complete with stained glass windows.

This week we started on the Taj Mahal and it will be painted white tomorrow, they also made a Winnie the Pooh cake. As you can see she lets them do the decorating and I like that alot.

 

The most important thing that happened around here lately? The two oldest blessings were baptized.

This is the other thing that blessing #2 had made up her mind about. Blessing #1 had been asking questions and waiting as well. I am glad they did this together!

May the Lord find us faithful.
