Our life in books



This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.
I love the path that God has us on.
We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.
Rome to the Reformation,
Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.
There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.

AVIARY lessons

Backyard Bird studies

Morning Doves have roosted in my pergola beams just outside our back door.



Hummingbirds too!

They are a marvel!  This is our hummingbird's nest taken at close range. It's about the size of a hen's egg  and it has two tiny eggs inside too!
The kids are tracking the birds and watching the momma and daddy come and go with food for the hatchlings.

 It's like having an aviary in our backyard.






Two eggs turned into two babies and then we went to camp for a week and they were gone. Flew the coop!  The nest is still there but the birds are bye-bye.
