School is in session!!

School is back in session here in our home!! It's nice to be back to a routine and teaching and learning.
All four children are being officially schooled this year. Lily has started Kindergarten! Yes, the baby is learning to read, write, and count. She loves it!! Leah has started third grade this year. She is excited to start learning cursive writing. James began fourth grade! He's already working so diligently. Whether we were ready or not, Cal is now a sixth grader. I'm still trying to grasp that thought. He has some exciting curricula this year that we are all excited about.

We have many group activities planned this year - book club, a music class that we're hosting here, research club at the library, biweekly science and sign language lessons, and occasional helping at a local church's senior citizen gathering. In between this we'll be doing our lessons, squeezing in a field trip or two, and living life!
