School in 1 hour a day

Yep, that's the extent of the schooling since we returned on May 21st with K. We are all obviously adjusting to the new foursome and the myriad of appointments that come with a child who enters the country at age 4. Doctors, dentists, specialists and the like are now on speed dial.

I have loved watching the kids adjust to a new family member and am honestly amazed at their patience, love and excitement to finally have him here. I am so proud of them and so thankful to God for the size of their hearts.

 All the 'firsts' that come along with having a new brother are so thrilling for everyone.
He has learned to pedal which took a few attempts. His bike has training wheels that won't be coming off anytime soon.

Proof that he is cool on a bike :

I love the concentration! This is a local museum where they have a bike track, he loved it and spent an hour on perfecting the course.

First spectator sport ( baseball/softball games):

First school day with the family:

It may take a little longer to complete the curriculum with all the changes at the end of this year. We are still committed to work on it a little each day.
5th grade, 3rd grade, 1st grade and Pre-K coming up in the Fall!

I also started looking at curriculum for next school year. My instinct is to the stick with what works and we have been enjoying My Father's World for 3 years.
 Rome to the Reformation is next in line and it sounds pretty exciting to study Rome, the birth of Christ, Paul's teachings and Medieval Times with knights and castles!
