*2'School*
School this week. I am more in love with Learn Math Fast Algebra everyday.
It rocks. It works.
Lots of on-line work: Vocabulary/ Spelling City, French, IXL, and Rosie's. We started Nancy Pearcy's Saving Leonardo. The sub-title says it all: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning.
Biology, PreScripts and our newest math find: Logic Links.
Free reading (comic books are still weighing in heavily here), along with generous servings of Downton Abbey. O.k., o.k., it's not really school. But the kids and I have had a great time snuggling on the couch together and it's sparked tons of questions about history. Cub has about had it though since they killed off 2 of his fav characters.

Our homeschooling community said good-bye to one of our "Dads" this week- the second in a year and a half. Both of them Godly, kind men who lived their faith, loved their families and did their work with integrity and fairness.
Our lives are richer for having known them and we rest in the assurance that we will see them again.
