This has been our last full week of summer break as a family! I can't believe it has gone by so fast. Randy will start school next Wed. and Eli and Hanni start the following Monday! So the kiddos have another full week to go before summer is over for them! Some kiddos easily lose alot of what they learn during the year over the summer and Eli tends to be one of those kids so I am starting earlier with him to refresh him a little before we start on 3rd grade work. Hanni, I really need to see where she is at and what she really knows and can do. More than just as a mom but as a teacher so they are starting a little earlier than I'd like so we can get that stuff out of the way and then go right into new learning in Sept. A new thing on our plates is that our two older girls will be homeschooling this year!!! I am more than thrilled! I wanted to started, traditionally, after Labor Day. Maryjo's bday is on the 15th so we have worked the calendar so they can start on the 16th. It is a little later than I'd prefer but since they are homeschooling they can easily make up those few days and they will have most of Maryjo's birthday week off!! I am also looking into doing a year round school schedule for all the kids. Due to Eli losing so much during breaks and Maryjo so eager to start back to school during each break. I am still thinking about it but it is certainly a possibility at this point if homeschooling all 4 kids works out this year to year round school them (with plenty of breaks of course)!
On another note, I just have to brag a moment! Gracie is a wonderful child! She has matured so much this summer and is becoming a very lovely young lady! I am so proud of her!! She has become helpful, kind, sweet, and so caring! Ok, most of those things she was already but she has truly blossomed over the summer and those characteristics are really shining through lately!!! She is truly a pleasure to be around!!!
