Don't you just love starting out your day in worship? I love my church and the small group I have. I have never had a Bible study group of women so change my life as these girls have. I love them all and thank God for them everyday. Our last service project was at the Ronald McDonald House. What a humbling evening for us all. We just can't wait to get back there and spend more time with these people. We love the fact that we can pray personally for each of them.

Tomorrow begins week 3 of school. It has been an auspicious beginning for us. I tell you it gets me up each day with a thankful heart.
I am reading To Kill a Mocking Bird. I highly recommend this if you haven't read it in awhile. You look at these pieces of literature differently when you get to be my age. Plus it is nice to challenge yourself when you think you will be reading Make Way for Ducklings five times this week. Although I must sy it too is awesome:)

Five in a Row
I used this curriculum many years ago with some of my now older kids. I am thinking of using it for Jonathan since he definitely has some wiggling issues. They have a yahoo group that I have just joined so hopefully I will get some great ideas from that. I am now also using the library frequently. Those who know me, know that this is a big step for me:) I have to admit I love it. Hopefully as I put together lesson plans for these FIAR books I will post them for others to use.
Just starting a blog
I have always wanted to keep track of things going on. But there are so many things going on. So I thought I would give this a try.
As a homeschool mom to 5 wonderful children I often read other blogs for wisdom. Well I am not sure how much wisdom will be here but maybe someone will find it useful.
We are just getting started with our new year. It is always an exciting time, with lots of new stuff to ponder. However, we will also find things that don't work for us. It is just how I am. I love to try new materials but I have also been known to waste a little money. I am sure there will be those who can relate:)
With 2 in high school now life gets tricky. They will both be taking classes in a co op so that does help. But as you know control starts slipping away. And that is not always a bad thing. Then on the other end of the spectrum is kindergarten... and teaching yet another one to read... But I must say he is so excited to be in school like the others. Then I have one in 3rd and one in 7th. So needless to say we are always doing something fun around here.
I am blessed to be called by God for this journey. Everyday is a new day and one I am thankful for.
