A New Season

I will update with pictures once we get our software updated on our computer.  I haven't taken pictures with my camera, but we have been doing a lot of fun stuff.

Daniel is riding a bike without training wheels, doing soccer this year, and is officially swimming!  We are really into lego's, and are looking into Tiger Cubs for him this fall.

Rachel is doing an amazing Christian Ballet class this fall, that incorporates the basics of dance with character building and a focus on the Bible.  It is a program that is normally in Syracuse, but they are trying it in town here, so I am so happy there is a program like that here.

Noah is also growing by leaps and bounds, the Dr told me he is very smart for a 3 year old, and I have been surprised with the things he is comprehending and doing.

We are involved in the LEAH co-op this year, and I am helping with co-ordinating the field trips.  School started for us today, Kevin was involved in seeing this new curriculum we are using, and I am so excited about this year.  Most of all, my goal is to take it one day at a time, and pray for wisdom to know what the kids are needing.  I was so bent on staying on schedule last year, that I think I burnt myself out.  And I don't think this is what homeschooling is about.

I am excited for September, we have lots going on, including birthdays, Disney World trip, and a 10 mile race at the end of the month.  In between that time we are trying to do wood, can a few things from the garden, and keep up with schoolwork!  I believe God is doing a new work in my family, both in my heart, and with those around me, and I am excited to see what life looks like when I let go of my expectations and let God rule my life.
