Quote for the week: Confidence… thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live. -Franklin D.

Monday: Joey was off from work today to celebrate President Lincoln. Whatever the reason, when Daddy is home the flow of the house is disrupted so I aimed for a shorter day. Amazingly we breezed through our “must dos” of history (Africa), First Language Lessons, math, and instrument practice, as well as spelling for […]

Monday: We started our week with Music Lesson Monday. (No Museum this time because we had some places to get Grandma to.) Jayden was pleasantly surprised to see that his spelling words this week were all states. The list gave him 17 and he got to chose 3 of his own. Tuesday: In […]
Monday: Joey was still off on vacation. We were able to get most of our holiday decorations down as well as a desperately needed cleaning out of our storage space in the basement. I started off the week feeling great about all the blog posts I was getting lined up to post as well. […]
