Summer Week 7

-

I took absolutely no pictures this week.  It felt like a very hectic week.

Sunday: We had church and church potluck. Lillian went to some friends' house for awhile.  Logan took a pretty bad fall, which worried me, but he ended up being ok. Dad started feeling bad.

Monday: Dad had a job interview.  The kids and I took care of house chores, did a little summer schooling (mostly Bible study and reading). Logan wasn't feeling great from his fall, so no music.

Tuesday: Dad took a vehicle to get new tires. It was so very hot this day! The kids and I stayed inside.  Tuesday night the girls and I had a girls' night campout in the camper.  We had a Harry Potter Movie Marathon. 

Wednesday: I attended my online class on scholarships for homeschoolers.  I learned a ton of helpful info and feel better about it. We had a summer storm whip through the area which left lots of limbs and trees down. It turned over one of our rabbit hutches and we lost electricity.  It didn't take long for us to miss the A/C!!  Savannah and I went to church business meeting, Lillian and Shane were both sick.  Logan stayed home with them.


Thursday: Dad woke up feeling better. He took Logan to Little Rock for an appointment. The original appointment went well.  They tried to stick in some other appointments for doctor's we have never seen before. However, after waiting back in a room for over two hours they just left and started home.  We are not sure why this happened, but we don't feel like we needed these extra appointments.  By the time they got home, Dad was down.   Lillian was still sick.  Logan was exhausted.  Savannah and I went to the first night of a Bible study called "A Pale Horse Rides."


Friday: We tried to get Lillian and Dad in to see a doctor, however he was completely booked up.  He did call in some medicine for us though.  Lillian was actually doing a lot better, but with the weekend coming up I thought she might need something.  She continued to get better all day.  We worked on some summer schooling through the day. The kids and I went to the Bible study this night.  Dad stayed home. 

Saturday: Lillian seems all well, but I'm making her continue her medicine.  Dad seemed better early, then got pretty sick again. We decided to go to the ER, but by the time we got there he was better again with no fever.  So, we came home.  If the ER says it wasn't truly an emergency, our insurance will not pay anything.  Hopefully he will continue to improve on his medicine.  The kids and I will attend the last night of "The Pale Horse" tonight. 

We have really enjoyed the bible study.  It is being held by a church of a different denomination than we are.  So, it has really been a neat experience to meet new people and talk Bible, theory, and doctrine.  It has been good for our kids to see as well that for every question, we go straight to the Bible for the final answer. These classes count as part of Logan's Ancient Literature class (more on that later).  There is one more class in early August to finish the series.

Also this week Savannah and I ironed out her final decisions for her 7th grade year.  She will officially be a Junior High student!

Week 4 in Review

I really can't believe it is September!  This was our 4th week in school. We still are not doing every subject every day.  What we typically try to do is one day we do our morning subjects of Meteorology, Bible, Geography, Art, Math, and Language Arts, and then the next day do our afternoon subjects of PE/Health, History, Spelling for Savannah, Reading for Lillian, Logan's Elective, Writing, and Science.  We do this until we are familiar with our new curriculum and are more independent so I can divide my time up where I am most needed. We do this until after fair week. For some reason we are never able to get full days of school in until after fair.  I use to fight this and get all stressed out about not having full days...now we just roll with it.  We still end the year right where we need to be, and we get to enjoy getting started back in school instead of it being stressful. Here are a few highlights of this past week. The week started on Sunday with churc...

Summer Week 9

I didn't keep day to day records this week, but here are the highlights. We had church on church days. 😊 We celebrated an Adoption of some friends of ours. They make such a lovely family, and we will continue to pray for their growth and bonding. Lillian did a couple of science experiments.  She made a tornado in a bottle and an ocean in a bottle. Dad had help from the kids this week with the barn. They finished enclosing it.  All they lack now is making the doors. Lillian, Buddy, and I went to the park one morning. We picked a theme for our homeschool year.  It is going to be "Having Fun in Arkansas."  We are planning to try and visit quite a few state parks that we have not visited before. We will also try to take in a few festivals, AGFC classes, or just look around at what we can find. We were in the hay field one afternoon. Lillian was a great helper. One of our cats had kittens. We have lots of deer coming to o...

Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.  Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." I know Jesus is always with me.  I know He will never leave me.  I take great comfort in that knowledge.  However I often forget the last part of that verse, to not be afraid.  Even more often, I forget to not be discouraged.  I have found myself discouraged a lot this week, and even some pretty scary events have happened this week, one of which is not my story to tell.  We are struggling.  I pray we all find our footing, and joy again soon. Last Saturday when we went to pick up the kids from Meme and Papa's, Logan had made knickerbocker glory from his Harry Potter cookbook.  It was delicious! He did an amazing job! Sunday the kids stayed with Meme and Papa again while Shane and I went to church to teach our classes.  The flu is so bad here!  We are trying to keep f...
