So, here we are in Mid-August and most of the kids we know are all sitting in class rooms around town. Our kids on the other hand, are all home with me! :) We are having an easy first week of school because our heavy duty curricula kicks off next week. Each Monday, we will be in a classroom setting with a tutor who will set up the week for us with memory work and new concepts. It just seemed like a quick overview this week was the best idea and next week, we will really jump in. So, our first days of school have consisted of visits so the Atlanta History Center and GA Aquarium, daily math, memory bible verse, getting familiar with our language/grammar and writing curricula and doing a Parker chosen science book. He made a catapult one day. He has also done lots of research on jelly fish since he got a pretty bad sting at the beach so he will get to write a report on that tomorrow.
Next week, Carter & Grace will start Parkway Baptist Preschool two days a week so that Parker and I can focus on the hard stuff. All four of us will spend our Monday's at Perimeter Church in Classical Conversations learning what's new for the week. Carter will also be in a class on Monday's and start to learn a little of the memory work. It should be a great head start for his school career and I think he is going to love it! Grace will just tag along with us and have a great time! :)

We are so shocked and very privileged to be called to homeschool these precious little ones! I expect lots of challenges, many fulfilling, rewarding days ahead. We are still seeking much information about what this will look like but trusting in the Lord that He has called us to this purpose and He will guide our way!
