School Has Officially Started

We started school a little later than most people around our area, but that's okay, because we can. 

We have officially been doing school for one week now and our first week was a great one.

I can't believe this is the start of Keith's senior year.  I won't even go into how I am feeling about that right now.  You don't want to see or hear me when I get all emotional so I'll wait on that for another time.

Beth is a sophomore and Faith is second grade.

I know we all have said it many many times...but truly, where does the time go?  Life has flown by since we had our children. 

I have one thing to say...SLOW DOWN!!  I'm not ready.  I want all my children little bitty again.  Can we just start over?  I know the answer.

Bless their hearts.  I make them take the same picture every year. 

 I know it's not very creative but it shows me exactly what I want to see.

Here is Miss Faith coming into the school room for her first day of 2nd grade.  She is thrilled to be in a higher grade now.  She is loving most of her subjects.  Math seems to be a favorite and she is learning to write in cursive and is doing fantastic.

Keith reading his English Literature.  His school work is mostly done in his bedroom at his desk.

I have to sneak to get most pictures of Beth.  This time I got a smile.

She sort of looks like a school crossing guard with the blue thing over her shoulder.  She actually hurt her shoulder playing volleyball because she smacks the ball like Hercules.  The girl has some major strength.  Anyway, this is an ice pack and heating pad that she can alternate.  Works great for her.

Faith never minds posing for mom. 

 She and I do her school work together while the big kids are independent learners.

I enjoy teaching Faith.  She is a teachable kid.  Know what I mean?

Faith has reading time at the end of the school day.  She gets comfy cozy and then reads for awhile by herself.  She LOVES to read and reads wonderfully.

This summer, as we were doing our family Bible reading, she began reading out loud with us.  She was reading words I had no idea she could read.  Big words...Very proud of her.

For those of you who remember Chloe...

Need I say more....

Off to get ready for this upcoming week.
