Summer and New School Year.

I have been meaning to write on my blog. The year just seems to be getting away too fast. The summer went by really fast. We didn't do a whole lot this summer. Jacob received Jesus as his Savior this summer. Maggie lost two teeth. My baby is growing up. We mainly just relaxed around the house and took Micah to work. Maggie and Micah home schooled this summer. Maggie was catching up on kindergarten because we got a late start. Micah did English this summer so he could graduate this coming May. It did not hit me that he would be done with school until I got the records for high school from Gateway. In a way it made me feel good because I have taught him since kindergarten and I feel the thrill of accomplishment. But I am having a hard time because I will not be his teacher any longer. I was thinking the other day how odd it will feel not to home school Micah. We have got off to a great start in school. We are already taking our first break this year. Micah has it the easiest this year. His work is mostly review. Jacob has the hardest but he always takes everything in stride. I am having to rethink some things for Brendan. He is still having a hard time in English and Math. Maggie is really picking up on her reading and cursive writing. We still are having some power struggles but we are coming a long. David is still on part time at his job. He started school up again this week. I thank the Lord every day for a wonderful family and the way He provides every day. His mercies are new every morning. Great is His faithfulness.
