First Day of Seventh Grade

 

Here's our scholar hard at his studies. He is enjoying our new dvd homeschool program, so far at least. We haven't got as far as I would have liked today, but it's only the first day and we are trying to get all the kinks figured out. We hope to have a smooth schedule flowing by Monday.

Our chatter box

 

 

 

This child talks from the moment he wakes up until the moment he shuts his eyes to go to sleep in evenings, except for a nice nap. He is napping right now, so Race and I are enjoying our momentary peace. I am still waiting on a piece of paperwork before I found out if he gets to go to pre-k for speech therapy. I was about ready to just homeschool him as well, but as I found out today, since it's our first day of school that pre-k sounds better and better. Race couldn't think because you know who kept talking. The one thing that got him to calm down for a while was www.starfall.com, it's an educational website I heard about. He enjoyed learning about his ABCs on there.

playing with the camera

 

 

 

 

Van loves to play with my camera, so he took most of these while we were waiting on Keith to get home from work so that we can go out to eat!

 

The boys were in the basement eating a snack and about to watch an episode of Andy Griffith.

 

 

 

 

It's been busy around here. Yesterday we had to get some plumbing work done and today we had the basement carpet cleaned. We are also trying to get prepared for school, which we'll start on Thursday. We went to a birthday party for Race's best friend last weekend and we had Persian food. This weekend we have another birthday party and then in a few weeks Race will have his birthday. I am still waiting to get a report from Van's hearing test before I can send in the information to the school system here to find out if he qualifies for speech therapy at the local elementary school.

 

It's been a busy time around here with training and homeschool prep. I have been sorting through our homeschool material trying to make sense out of it and I am almost done. We finally finished our foster to adopt training classes on Tuesday, so we have been having some down time the last two days.

We went and played volleyball last night with some of our new friends from the Vietnamese church. I am terrible at volleyball, but they were merciful and let me play anyway.

Birthday Wishes

 

 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANNY JUDY!
