September 2017

September happenings

We had a great, but speedy September!  We spent time at the library, going to church, attending our homeschool group, etc.  Hurricane Irma threatened to come through, so we welcomed friends from Tallahassee who stayed the night.  It was a fun visit and we didn't even lose power as the storm passed through!  Gregg and the kids ran in the first annual Harvest Fun Run in our neighborhood.  Overall, it was a great month!

At the library meeting new friends!

With their friends who also ran the race

They decided they needed to try out their Christmas PJs!

Checkers with Dave

I found the girls like this (they had taken all of the pjs out of the drawers!)

We didn't plan it, but they all wore white and grey!

It's always fun to play in the toy bin

Sweet sisters

School begins....2017!

We started school August 14, 2017 

Well, I started this post in August and it's now the end of October!  Oops!  I'll go ahead and post about August, then try to catch up on September and October in separate posts.  As you can imagine, it has been busy around here.  Zeke is doing well in second grade and Adalynn is enjoying Pre-K, especially handwriting and reading.  We are already on week 8 of our Classical Conversations group, which we all enjoy!

 Classical Conversations ~ Cycle 3 ~ 2017-2018

We are studying American history and geography this year, in addition to human anatomy and some chemistry.  We are learning John 1:1-7 in English and Latin.  I have to admit, I'm enjoying this cycle the most so far.  It has been fun to learn the states and capitals together, as well as parts of the human body.  The kids are doing extremely well with their memory work!  

First day of CC

First day in childcare!

Learning from their tutor, Ms. Danielle!

They are in the same class this year (the classes are mixed ages)

This one just makes me laugh.  Lily Faith's personality grows every day!

I'm going to close this post here.  We had a great August and can't believe how quickly it went by.  We thank God for the opportunity to have school at home, all together.  Gregg has been busy working hard, taking such good care of us.  Blessings to you all!
