A New School Year

In My Life This Week-    

Nothing new really happened this week. David is still working and in school. We only see him about two hours a day. All of my saltwater fish died this week. Some of them we had for 5 years. It made me sick.

In Our Homeschool This Week-       

We started a new year two weeks ago. Maggie is doing really well. I cut out some things out of her school that was not working. She seems to do well with paces. Brendan is also doing well. We had a rough year last year. So hopefully it will be better this year.

Helpful Homeschool Advice or Tips to Share-

 I hate having to do school in the summer. But with only one car and because it is so hot outside we decided to do it this way. We will be able to be more flexible in our schedules. So I guess my advice is when life throws you lemons make lemonade. Be willing to think outside the norm. This is so hard for me.

Places We're Going and People We're Seeing-

We went to the Aquarium this week. We needed a break. It was another way to get in a homeschooling day. Maggie played in the water until it started thundering and lightening. We also went on a drive Saturday with my parents. It is nice just to drive around and look at different places.

My Favorite Thing This Week Was-

I really didn't have a favorite thing. I did like to play games with the kids we don't normally play. I also love to go to church. I love the music and our preachers preaching.

Questions and Thoughts I have-

Why does God allow things in peoples lives when others who are so wicked seem to never be punished. We had a good family at church this week . The husband died of a massive heart attack. This family is such an encouragement to those around them. They are always serving the Lord. I just don't understand.

Things I Am Working On-

I just finished sew two Bitty Baby outfits. I used a real old pattern. I was afraid they wouldn't turn out. But they came out so cute. This is my contribution for our raffle basket for SAGA.

I Am Reading-

I am reading Daddy's Gone A Hunting by Mary Higgens Clark. So far it has been a little hard to follow.  I usually love her books. So maybe it will get better.

I Am Praying-

for David, Micah, Jacob, David's Grandparents, Pastor, Church and the Elgin Family.
