So our new family news is that we are homeschooling all of the children next year. There are so many things with these public schools here that really upset us and we have made the decision that we are no longer going to subject our children to that sort of education.
I have been praying and praying about it and I know that it is the right choice for us. I am actually excited about it, terrified but excited! I have my same old same old worries about failing the kids but I know that if we give all those fears and worries to God that everything will be alright!
We are still going to be using Abeka for all 3. Sadie will be in 6th grade, Lilly is 5th grade and Gabriel in 1st grade. I am so happy that they are excited too. They have been asking to "do homeschooling" everyday. We have been doing a little here and there. I plan to officially start in August I think. Once I get ever piece of the curriculum and 2 more rolling back packs. Oh and the spelling I am going to use is Spell to Write to Read. I have seen it, read about it, saw it in action and I am excited to be able to use it. I think that it will be wonderful for them.
I think that our lives are slowly changing into something different. We planted a HUGE garden this year, which might be a little much, because we want to can. We want to become more self sufficient, more able to take care of our own families needs, and less relying on the government for things. We want to teach our children the same because we want to fully prepare them in case of a revolt. I honestly see that in our futures and I want them to be able to survive without help, but that is another long story!
So that is a short update. Kal is returning to the back surgeon this week so I will try to update then.
