Making Progress

Good News!!!

This is the start of the message from OBT in my inbox today. Yeah! We are really going to OH now. Next week we close, and the movers will be here. We are going-to-be packed up and ready to go! Faster than expected and none too soon.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow . . .

Waxing or Waning?

S and I have been keeping track of the moon phases for the month of October. Each night before she goes to bed, we go out and look for the moon. She then draws what she sees on her calendar for that day's date. This is part of our Apologia Astronomy studies for the year.

When we can't find the moon before bedtime, we head on over to moongiant and look up the moon the next day.

Click here to see an interesting video that helps to explain the phases of the moon and why we see what we see.

If you're still with us, enjoy this song which we will be listening to soon!

TOG Y1U1 Celebration

In addition to the Onion Incident, we also looked over Sarah's accomplishments for the first nine weeks of Tapestry today. As I displayed all of the books we have read, S remarked, "Wow, I didn't know that I had read so many books." Little by little, day by day. S and I also did several hands-on activities which we are really enjoying this year. That is one of her favorite parts of school. Here is her Ancient Egyptian paddle doll,

her pyramid which Leora helped her build,

and her shofar was in the first picture of the last post. For some reason I did not get a picture of her ziggurat. I will try to do that later and post a picture here.

The Onion Incident

Attention, FV Readers! A crime was committed today.

At our house all was well

as we prepared to celebrate,

and then it happened.

THE ONION INCIDENT.

It reduced my girls to tears.

There is a price to pay for that.

The punishment must fit the crime.

After being chopped to pieces and put in the pot, there were no more tears and we ate you up!

So excited!

OBT called today to let me know that we may be moving into our new house sooner than expected. After being mad at him today for not being here to help me out with the many things I have to do, I am now so happy. Even if we have no furniture, I don't care. Just to be where he is and soon - that is all I'm asking at the moment.

Another one?

Yesterday while munching on an apple Sarah's wiggly tooth came out. This makes five that she has lost this year. Her two baby front teeth are gone, but a new one is already making its way into the world. Now she is missing a bottom one too.
