In my life this week...
While I was feeling much better, my husband has been battling the World's Worst Cold this week. Thankfully, everyone else seems to be on the mend.
In our homeschool this week...
The days seem to be getting shorter as children are finishing up subjects. I counted days this year for school, though I have no idea what day we're on; however, I'm pretty sure we're right on track as they are finishing up! I am a bit frustrated, however, that my oldest son's science seems to have all but come to a stand-still. But, daddy should be feeling better this week, so I hope it kicks into gear again!
Places we are going...
Our four girls went with their daddy to a Father/Daughter night at our church on Friday night and had an absolute blast doing various relay races, playing soccer, and creating their own pizzas. Meanwhile, the three boys and I went to a dulcimer concert at a church in my mom's town. Absolutely wonderful! So good to have some special time with our children.
My favorite thing this week was...
When my 4 year old got into the van as I was putting the groceries in the back, he raised up his mittens and shouted, "Yook, Mommy," (he says his Ls with the "y" sound), "I found my mittens!"
"Good!" I said. I then heard him say, as he was sitting down, "Praise the Yord! I found them!"
They say kids repeat what they hear...this was a good thing!
What's working for us...
My kids learning how to use Google Earth, as described in this post.
Questions/thoughts I have...
What am I going to use next year? I'm leaning towards a unit-study for missions/geography and creating my own language arts curriculum...so much to think about.
Things I'm working on...
I read Romans 12 today and am thinking about doing a study on verses 9-21. That will take some time, but I think I will learn so much on truly practical Christian living.
I'm reading...
A couple of things. Mostly, a biography on Eric Liddell as my son was to read it this week. He finished it. I'm only on chapter 5! "Chariots of Fire" is in our near future! Raise your hand if you plunked out the theme song on the piano when you were a kid! *my hand's raised*
I'm cooking...
Right now, I have a chuck roast in the crock-pot for tonight's French Dip. It will be served with a green salad, mashed potatoes and a veggie (not yet decided). Brownie sundaes for dessert - the brownies just came out of the oven & the house smells heavenly! Thrilled to be sharing this meal with good friends who have just returned from Barrow, Alaska!
I'm grateful for...
Good health!
Things I'm praying for...
Hurting families, hurting friends, & missionaries.

Sickness is horrible no matter who is sick but when the parent gets sick it turns the house inside out. I pray everyone gets well soon.
