Winding down for the holidays....

We hit the ground running with school early August with many hopes that when we arrived at this point in the year; we could just relax and enjoy the season. Turns out that we needed the cushion because everyone was going to be sick. Worked out anyway right.Ha! I could use a laugh right about now.

Something I'm learning this school year is to 

place my trust in God and remember that He is God alone. 

No matter what it looks like, God is still God!!! And He is so good. He knows exactly where we are and where we are going.

A little side note for me: God will get me there :) 

I don't have to worry about it. Which is something for me because I like to fit all the pieces together or at least see them coming together before I leap. 

We decided not to do extra-curricular activities aside from swim and gym for Indya; and Isaiah will do basketball in the winter. We will begin both in January. I think we will re-evaluate this decision for next year. We are still using all Abeka book curriculum with Easy Grammer to help when needed. The reading program has done it again for me. My sweet 6 year old is reading amazingly well. I have used it with three of my children now and it has been great. They all have different learning styles.This curriculum has worked so well for us. I keep thinking....I should at least look around but I always fall back to this one. It's just plain good for us ;) I will be sending in grades for the mid-term and putting away the books. Ahhh...this is just awesome.
