What Addi is up to...

My girls are growing like weeds!  They have gone from 2 kids existing in a house together to being each other's closest playmates.  I love watching them grow closer and start playing together more and more.  Mya will do anything and everything Addison does...good or bad.  Great teaching tool for Addison!

Addison had her 5 year old check up a few weeks ago and the conversation went like this... "How is Addison's appetite?"   "Amazing, better than it has ever been." "Well, just because she's a little low on the growth chart." "What is it?" "She's around 10%" "Oh no, that's good.  That's the highest she's ever been!" 
Still my string bean, but has definitely opened up to the world of food, more specifically meat.  Most days she would rather just eat veggies and fruit still, but we are growing! 

Addison favorite thing right now is anything with art, drawing and coloring.  She carries paper and something to draw with pretty much everywhere she goes.  She LOVES clothes.  Loves to pick out her clothes, loves to change clothes, loves to layer clothes.  I feel like she needs a pin that she can wear that says "I dressed myself today."  She is so excited on those days that I let her wear whatever she wants! 

As we get closer to the end of the school year, we are starting to do a lot of review of what she has learned all year.  She has learned 28 Bible verses, starting to learn addition and subtraction and reading a little better every day.

Curriculum Review 2017-18

                                  Curriculum Review 2017-18 I believe I started last year's post by saying "This was the most difficult school year to date." While overall it was a good year, it was different kind of difficult.  A deployment and chronic mastitis were replaced with starting a new Co-Op and writing a book.   While I don't know that I would recommend writing a book in 10 months while homeschooling, during one of the busiest seasons of your husband's job, I am thankful for the year we had.  The past year brought more personal growth for me than any other year.  Homeschooling truly is a refining fire and I am thankful for the lessons we all learn in the process.   Here’s a roundup of what we used this year and how it worked for us: Addison – 5 th  Grade Bible, History, Literature, Geography & Writing – Tapestry of Grace, Year 2, Dialectic...

Blogs are interesting.  Some share decorating ideas, some political philosophy, some day to day happenings and many more pictures of family and friends.  We keep everyone updated on the fun events and happy occasions of our everyday lives.  While some people take it a bit to far, I think most of us are not always so quick to share those not so happy moments though...  The moments that we fail completely as a parent.  The moments that we are to busy to stop and help.  The moments we sit in silence and wonder why.  The moments when life is just flat out hard.  In a few weeks I will watch my husband go off to war.   In a few weeks I will have to help a little 3 year old mind grasp how long a year is and how far away daddy will be.   I just found out this morning that my aunt passed away.   Next week the list of names I know on headstones at Arlington will get a little bit longer.  I ache for my friends whose husbands won'...
