Thank you, God! Thank you, God!
I got the BEST group of kids and the BEST group of parents EVER!!! I am SO pumped about this school year!
Orientation went great! We all prayed together for a great year and no one had any complaints, questions, gripes or unusual requests. All the kids were excited and continue to be very well behaved every day. Could there be any more doubt that this is what I'm called to do? If I wasn't where I'm supposed to be, I'm sure things would not have worked out like they have.
I think Dylan has found a truck. He went to look at it last night and really liked it and it seemed to be in pretty good condition for an old truck so they are going back tonight to get it if it's still available. Today was his first day of school and wouldn't you know, I was running late so I didn't get a picture! But I did make him some pancakes! LOL I can't believe my little man only has two more years of high school. You ladies with little ones better eat it all up while you still can. It goes by fast, let me tell ya!
Kayti already has work she's doing for CORE, which starts next week but we don't officially start our year until the last week of August and some subjects even after Labor Day. I'll never understand why public schools want to start in the middle of August. It's ridiculous. But it makes me so thankful to be able to homeschool my girls. I can wait and start after Labor Day, after the mad rush to buy supplies and still be completely and totally done by the second week in May! If that's not a big enough praise for homeschooling, I don't know what is. Not to mention, I get it all in before noon, too. I just can't imagine them going back to being at a desk for 8 hours a day. How stifling! I so wish I'd obeyed God sooner on that calling. But better late than never, I suppose.
Jeff is STILL on reduced hours and now he is also out of vacation time. I'm trying to stay optimistic but this is definitely one I need to pray over. Please pray for us as well!
Everything else is same ol' same ol'.
Stay blessed!
I am excited about your new class, it sounds great! I am with you on starting school in August, I also think it should start after Labor Day. But where you are thankful for homeschool, I am so, so THANKFUL for public school! In Jacey Grace's case, I am also thankful for private school!
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you need dance info to pass out, if they are still wanting it. Also, let me know if I need to talk to the new director. Thanks!!!
Miss you and Love you!
