What we're up to!

I know it's terrible that I have not been faithful to blogging. To be honest, I've been weighing things in my life. Is this critical or is this essential? I know some people are faithful about reading this blog, and I know that this blog is a way some can keep up with what's going on around here. I guess I'm just trying to find a balance. Anyway, I'll try to do better with writing on here.

We have been having loads of fun around here. This week we are doing a unit study from Homeschool Share, The Gardener by Sarah Stewart. There are lots of great ideas in the unit and I've come up with a few of my own. We'll hopefully post more info with pictures later this week.

The weather has been beautiful so we have been outside. John and Gracie are riding all over the place either on their bikes or scooter. Amos has been so faithful to take them on special walks and John is so into drawing maps of our neighborhood and he's really good at it. I honestly believe he knows the names of our neighborhood better than I do now. There's some roads he comes home talking about that I'm not sure I know where they're at. This is learning and he's having fun. Who said learning has to be boring?

Everyday I am just so blessed by my family. I know I don't deserve them. The Lord is just turning my heart more and more towards my home. How can I serve them? How can I bless them? I don't always do a good job of it, but it's the desire of my heart. He's still workin' on me, like the children's song goes, but it's oh so true!! That's all for now.
