<\/a><\/p>\nLet’s start with our youngest, Sissy! \u00c2\u00a0She turned 6 this summer! \u00c2\u00a0Last Spring we decided that she needed to redo Kindergarten. \u00c2\u00a0And, then this summer we decided she need to attend Daddy’s school, Neighborhood Christian school<\/a>. \u00c2\u00a0She started on August 14 and is thriving! She is learning at an appropriate level, is LOVING what she learns about God and is excited to leave every morning with Daddy! \u00c2\u00a0In her spare time, she loves to watch Spy Kids movies (over and over and over!) and practice riding her bike! She wants the training wheels off, but we think a bit more practice is a good idea!<\/p>\n J3 is 12.5 now and we are planning his Squire ceremony (signaling his last years of childhood – time to start practicing the skills to be a man!) \u00c2\u00a0We started homeschooling him again this year with the charter school, South Sutter, and he is doing well. \u00c2\u00a0He loves all things science and anything to do with cooking. \u00c2\u00a0He has asked for cooking tools for his birthday. \ud83d\ude42 \u00c2\u00a0He is finishing up the Hunger Games trilogy and still loves Minecraft! \u00c2\u00a0Often you can find him watching YouTube videos to learn how to cook something or build something in Minecraft!<\/p>\n \n Hubs and I went to this Castle winery this summer for the day – kid free! – and had a blast! \u00c2\u00a0Here is the website – Castello di Amorosa<\/a> – \u00c2\u00a0You should go visit! You can see more pictures here<\/a>!<\/p>\n He is still teaching 5th grade at NCS and loving it! \u00c2\u00a0I am still working for The Old Schoolhouse Magazine from home. \u00c2\u00a0Almost 10 yrs! \u00c2\u00a0This summer I became the Director of Advertising Sales. \u00c2\u00a0I love it! \u00c2\u00a0Lots of work, but SUCH a great group of people who are excited to help other homeschoolers!<\/p>\n This fall we are going to do some work on our home – replacing the nasty tub and painting it. \u00c2\u00a0I wlll try to be sure and blog about that experience! \u00c2\u00a0I have to cut this shorter than I expected so I will write a WHOLE other post about what is going on – or not – in my knitting life! It was my birthday in August, so I got lots of new yarn! \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n \n \n \n \n I tried to look back to see when my last real update was and I can’t even find it! Crazy! Our summer was good and though we didn’t travel, it was full! And, now our Fall appears to be just as busy! \u00c2\u00a0So, I thought, rather than scrapbooking today, I would do an update on …<\/span> Read More →<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>J2 will be 17 in a number of days! He is still homeschooling with South Sutter, volunteering for a local ministry, and mowing lawns. \u00c2\u00a0He just opened his own savings and checking account and loves planning his purchases! \u00c2\u00a0He loves playing various Xbox games with his cousins and other friends. \u00c2\u00a0But he also loves to get on his bike and go! \u00c2\u00a0He loves the freedom that his bike allows him. \u00c2\u00a0We were talking about helping him get his license but I think it might be cheaper if we wait until he turns 18!<\/p>\n<\/a>J1 is 18 and living in the Sacramento area with friends. \u00c2\u00a0This picture is from a visit in August and when he got cleaned up for a job interview. \u00c2\u00a0I’m not sure if he followed up on it, but we are praying he keeps looking. \u00c2\u00a0That August visit was really great and things seem to be going so much better for him. \u00c2\u00a0I am trying to keep my hopes up and staying as prayerful as I can be. \u00c2\u00a0I miss him.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
