First Month of School

We have finished our first month of school and it has been wonderful! The boys have worked so incredibly hard and have learned so much- and had a great time (at least I have!)  We are using Switched on Schoolhouse for Language Arts and Connor's math and Garrett is using Teaching Textbooks for math. We are using Heart of Dakota for Bible, reading, writing and history and it is such a blessing! We start our day learning a hymn and singing praises to God and reading  His word together!  We all have grown so much in our faith this past summer and God is so faithful to be ever-present and all-powerful!

We started co-op classes on Fridays a few weeks ago and they are going great. The boys love their classes and we have all made friends. Garrett is taking Science and sign language and Connor is taking Science and life skills. We have met some great people and made a few friends and learned alot!  Monday school starts in a few weeks and we can't wait for it! The boys will get more science, history, and art.  We have all made some great friends. We also can't wait for Cadets to start soon. The boys learn Scripture and character values while getting to hang out with friends too!  Garrett is also doing AWANAs on Sunday nights so we are very busy.

I had some great pictures of the boys working on art projects, doing schoolwork, etc but our computer crashed and I had not backed everything up. We are waiting to hear whether they can pull anything off the old computer and we are hoping they can, but if not, those pictures are gone.  I will do a better job backing things up and we will take more pictures! :)

Our family is growing closer together and closer to God- what more could we ever ask for!!?  Thank You LORD for your amazing blessings- may we always be aware of them all around us and not miss a single one!!
