Starting Over

Hi!  We are about to begin our third grade year! Amazing how time flies!
I really lost interest in blogging about school in our first grade year.  We used Sonlight again and I just wasn't happy...and that affected Brett.  So we sort of trashed the lesson plans and did our own thing.  It ended up being a good year, but I was really overwhelmed having to pull from scratch what to do every week...and blogging took a back seat.

Last year we switched to My Father's World and we couldn't have chosen a better fit for our family!  I am thrilled with their program and Brett loves the notebooking he does for his work.  What a difference in our attitudes each day!  Of course, by this time so much time had passed since I had last blogged that I felt ridiculous just jumping back in.

But now...even though it's been two years...I feel like starting over...Jumping back in with both feet and having this outlet to share how we do school.  This year is going to be wild and crazy as we are expecting our second child in October.  I'm a little scared to do school with a newborn and more than ever right now I am soaking up other mom's blogs and advice.  And I thought, maybe someone out there can relate to what I have to say too.  And even if not, it's just a good outlet of release!

So, I'll do my best to stay up to date (on this page and on our Outdoor Hour page as well!) and hopefully you'll pull up a chair and get cozy as you read about our life, our homeschool, and the adventure it promises to be this year!

Until next time!
