Williamsburg

Spent three days away from the boys to do a little training for next year. A little refreshed although the car ride every day hurt my neck. Classical Conversations is starting a group at my church and I will be a tutor. I really like the group and am looking forward to starting up in the fall. It did help to attend the practicum and I picked up a few more books/supplies that I need. I will consider bringing my boys next time and just staying at the hotel. The classes they had for the kids looked fun. Back to the real world now and finish up this year before looking at next year. Always looking ahead. Need a summer break and really take the time off. LOL!!!

Garden Starting


The plants sprouted very well this year. We even took seeds from a cantaloupe and plated them. Our garden has a good start and everything is in the ground now. We should have tomatoes(yellow and red), bell peppers, peas, beans, yellow squash, zucchini squash, carrots, cantaloupe, cucumber and pumpkin. Looking forward to fresh home grown veggies this year. The garden is very goo therapy. We need lots of bug spray to work in the garden. The mosquitoes try to carry you away. LOL!!! ITCH!!

Valentines Party


Here are some photos of the IBC Homeschoolers Valentine's Party. It has turned into more of a social group and we know how to party. LOL! After opening with prayer we had lots of fun. Andrew took almost all of these pictures. He teases me that he is a better photographer than I am. He is correct. I'm happy for him. He really seems to enjoy taking pictures.

Student Photo. It was very bright and sunny that day. We had great weather for the party. Didn't feel at all like Januar.(and that is because Valentines falls in the month of February! OOooppps! Thanks Shea!)









Another Tooth Gone


Andrew has lost another tooth! He begged me to help him with it because it was hurting and felt funny. After several attempts we tied some dental floss to it and then to a door knob. Daniel then yanked the door open while I gave Andrew a hug. Worked very well! We had to search for the tooth. That took about five minutes since it flew off. Pretty funny! He says it feels much better. When he has his next visit to the dentist we will set one up for the orthodontist.
