Smooth Transition

I am so excited that our transition into our school year has gone really well so far! I give all glory to the Lord, Who has been hearing and answering many prayers about this subject. There is always a little anxiety in me as I anticipate the new schedule, new subjects, the change back to a regular pattern of days instead of spontaneous and free days. This is day three of our new school year, and though each of the kids have had a few frustrating moments, I am so thankful that so far the Lord has given me a lot of patience and that elusive 'eternal perspective'. You may be laughing to yourself, thinking, "It's only the third day.", but if you are a homeschooling Mom, you know that little victories can give great encouragement! Our schedule is not completely normal yet, because we are waiting on our Latin workbooks to arrive before we can start that. This year we are trying Veritas Press' Prima Latina program, on dvd. Kevin's sister has used this with her son and was really pleased, so it's nice to have a recommendation like that. Plus, the lessons are on DVD! Did I mention that already? I really like that part. Then, in a couple of weeks our co-op will start meeting, and Keely and Noah will have p.e., gardening, drama, and geography on Tuesday afternoons. Lily and Row have a preschool class. I took a picture of the kids on their first day. Kevin put it in the rotation of photos that shows up on our home page. It's the one of them standing in front of the sunflowers in our back yard.



May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing His will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Hebrews 13:20-21
