A new year underway!

It is official... we have started a new year of homeschooling. A.J. is in 4th Grade, Abigail is in 1st Grade, and Julia is into everything! Last year, (only 6 weeks ago), when we were finishing up, she couldn't reach the table or climb in chairs. Those days are over. This week was all about figuring out how to do everything with her in tow!

The kids have started a new history curriculum called "The Mystery of History." I can't wait to dive deeper into it. We are learning world history and Bible history at the same time. Did you even know that Joshua was around the same time as King Tut? We just never learned those things in school. I guess I always thought they were separate. I am so glad my kids will be able to learn about all of God's creation at the same time, in chronological order. This year, we are studying everything that happened in our world from Creation to Christ. Can't wait to keep going!

Pray for us as we embark on year #2 in this adventure. Pray I have patience in my pregnancy to make it through the next 18 weeks until the baby comes. Pray we can keep Julia happy and being productive, not destructive! Pray Abigail will develop great listening skills and deeper understanding each day. Pray A.J. will learn self-control of his emotions. They are such wonderful children, and I am so thankful to have them all. I know this will be a great year!

(PS... the only complaint of any significance from AJ so far is that we won't get to the Civil War this year. That is his favorite thing in history to discuss)!
