1st Day of School (Kindergarten & 1st grade)

It's finally here. The first day of school! The schedule I planned has been hovering over my head for weeks, so I am really happy to get it off the ground today. The kids were excited, everything went smoothly...why can't it be this easy all year? Morgan is studying Math, Bible, handwriting, grammar, spelling, history, science, literature, and art (on Fridays) for 1st grade. For kindergarten, Emma is doing math, Bible, phonics, handwriting, art, and listening in on history & science with Morgan.







After breakfast & devotions, we start our day with a walk.

Summer Catch-up

Just need to do a quick catch up post to get the blog back on track before the school year. This summer has been nuts!
 Our fig tree produced buckets & buckets of figs this year.

 The Goodman family stopped by to visit in July.
 A quick trip to Abilene in August- Morgan has had a bath and Memaw is singing the "freezing song".
 The reason for our visit: Candace & her kids passing through Texas on their way to Paris.
 We replaced our van last weekend while on a trip to Austin (it has been almost 2.5 months since we were rear-ended in the Mazda).
 The kids are super excited about the new van.
