I am so proud of my 4 children!
My oldest has finished up his 2nd semester of college in the Dual enrollment program. He got a "98" in English 1102! Way to go Collin. (applaud and cheering)
Everyone told him it was so hard and that I was wrong for putting him in a 7 week class instead of the 15 week.
He told me it was so easy.... Would like to have more classes like that next semester.
We are waiting on the rest of his grades but I have no doubt. That they are all a's and b's.
My youngest son; Pooh bear, just wrapped up his math and asked to begin his new book right away. We do Saxon so he is beginning 6/5. He also has finished his explode the code and wordly wise.
If he is wanting to start the new book then I am grabbing the chance, he normally is the total opposite. I am happy for Pooh bear to feel he has accomplished something and it has given him incentive.
My baby girl is so far ahead, almost done in Saxon 5/4. She is on lesson 92. Before summer is over she will be in 6/5 with her older brother. She is only 9 and just loves school. All her other school is already done also, looking to order her a new wordly wise book. Trying to decide on the wordly wise version to use now that rock solid doesn't have the original version. refuse to use 3000 3rd, don't like that they put the answer key in the teacher manual, and charging 30.00 for it.
My middle son, Piglet, the music talent of our family. He is doing great with a push: before summer end he will have his math done. Almost has completed his wordly wise.
This is the first summer since we began homeschool I don't feel like our whole summer has to be spent on catching up.
We are going to take a break small but a break and we are going to do some fun school with geography, history and literature. Plus rearrange the classroom for a new start.
This fall is bringing new seasons into my families life.
Life is full of up's and down's. We don't know our timing this is the place I come to write thoughts about, Family, quilting and crafts that bring peace and mental calmness. Surviving cancer and the scars still healing. The journey that has led me to know God our father. The journey I am still on that still has trials of faith.

offenses
The church body has been reading "The Bait of Satan" by John Bevere.
I highly recommend this to book to everyone.
It is some good food to digest and that will feed you, I have been able to actually see myself in this book.
I have felt offended by family, friends and strangers. It is so much more hurtful when it comes from someone close to you.
How am I to respond? Have I really truly forgiven? Have I fully turned it over to God?
Or have I actually allowed the offense to stay somewhere with in? If the tiniest speck of offense is in your soul it will grow. Once that poison is there growing you can find offense in everything and everyone in your daily life.
I want to let go and be free of offense, I want to have a loving closer relationship with my Father.
He is the only one that truly loves me, so why would I not want to please him and be closer to him.
Love this song....
This Sunday is the day!!
I get to sing it...with my best friend.
Have been working months towards joining the praise team, and one quick swooze went from practicing to being on praise team and singing this song this Sunday.
I am so happy and excited and terrified all at once. Is that possible? Now just to keep the trembling down so no one detects it.
Praying for Gods comfort to flow in and through me.

Spring Break
Last week was our spring break. It was nice to have a break from the go, go, go. Even though the week seemed very full it was filled in a different way.
My days are longer now with second half of the semester beginning today. Means better schedule adherence so that we get done the things we need too.
Everyone including me is working on Easter music for church. My husband and our boys are playing their string instruments and I am singing with the Praise team. I am so excited have been working towards this every Tuesday for past several months.
Well of to finish up our nightly chores so that we can rest for another beautiful day.

Beautiful weather
I am sitting outside soaking in Gods beauty.
Spring is my favorite time.
Reminds me of Jesus's promises. Looking at the pine trees I think I missed the crosses this year. A few years back the pines were full of crosses all at one time. Just an awesome sight.
So far the bugs are not bad,
Cool breeze
Kids out playing.
Dinner on a grill.
Plants blooming
Crickets singing
Best of all a sunset
What could be better to end a day.
