First day of school 2015 – 2016

For the first time in FIVE years, I was not anxious about starting our homeschool year.
I’d like to claim that 10 years of homeschooling, I can see how faithful God is and I know that He will provide for our school. 
But, I’m not sure that I can attribute it all to my spiritual growth.
I am not pregnant, nor do we have a small baby in the house.
We have a CD-ROM curriculum for Stewart’s math, thus freeing up a lot of time for me.
Stewart is also taking English at the community college, freeing up time for me.
We do not have any speech therapy this year.  And while she was such a great person to invite into our home, it did make my days choppier.
The oldest three are VERY independent, and Tab is getting there.
Katriel and Hanny are playing really well together these days.

And they all had REALLY great attitudes. 
It was a VERY EXCELLENT start to the year.  Praise the LORD!

A Monster Among Us

The boys worked on new script over the winter/spring.  I was SUPPOSED to proofread it as we drove to Oregon, but I hadn’t not yet (and still have not) loaded Microsoft Office onto the laptop.  (Oops.)  I quickly read it after we got home and they went about with casting and costumes.

On August 20th they managed to do most of the filming, with a small bit left for the 22nd. 

Within a week they had it edited. 
And I must say, I am quite tickled by their production.
