First day of school- at home

So today was day #1 embarking on the journey of homeschooling. We started in traditional first of school fashion by taking everyone's picture out front. (Wesley was crawling around behind me) Grady wanted in the pictures too with his silly "cheese" smile.

"Cheese Momma, me do shool too!" I love that is this picture Gracie is just smiling like Grady isn't even in her picture :)

Gracie, age 7, 3rd grade
Hoper, age 5, 1st gradeLooking at their pictures, i can't believe how big they are. 3rd and 1st grade? Seriously, where has the time gone? I am so grateful I God blessed me with the opportunity to be a Momma and to get to stay home with them is the icing on the cake. Although it isn't easy, I can't imagine it any other way. This new adventure will be just that, NEW and an ADVENTURE. I will be learning right along with them- How they learn best, what makes excites about learning and how to best meet their needs. I hope and pray that I'm up for the challenge!!

The girls have been highly excited to start school and see what it is like to school at home. Our first day went rather well. We started with Bible and moved on to our literacy based curriculum. I think we all will enjoy it and learn a lot. Our Math curriculum hasn't come in yet from our ES, but soon we will be starting that too! Homeschooling with 2 little ones does make for some challenges, but I'm sure once we get into the "groove", the baby boys will find theirs too. Grady participated in our Bible lesson and memory verse so that was cute. He kept saying "me school too Momma" :)

Wish us luck as we start this new chapter in life and experience lots of new things together as a family. I'll keep posting on our progress! (Or lack there of) Until later...

***Thank You Jamesy, for working hard to provide for us, so we can be home together, We all love and appreciate you!!!***
