starting school :: aug 2015

First year with three curriculums...Gehrig: 5th grade, Greer: 2nd grade and Garner: K4.

First day of school breakfast treat :)

So love them and the opportunity to spend so much time together

We rarely stay seated at our desks for long ;)

Ella June helps out :)

And Garner gets some hands-on fun to reinforce and keep her busy while the others finish their work...

Their afternoon treat for working hard :))

Another school day...

And dressing for winter as part of one of her readings

So thankful she enjoys folding clothes and doing other chores at the moment!  She has started way younger than the others because she copies them :)

And writing the Word on her heart...so thankful :)

Daily drawing comparison: 5th grade boy vs. 2nd grade girl ;)

Sweet smile for history time

And chores too...I wish I did a better job of keeping this up for our fam!

Tears.  Gehrig was assigned to write an essay on courage...his daddy is such a great role model for him in so many areas.

Later August, we woke weary and slow one morning after a few weeks of constant busyness and routine...thankful for the opportunity to ease into the day when we need it :)

It was so nice out there, we just brought our work out and stayed :)

Love :)

And an entry in Greer's thankful journal one day...she is so awesome ;))

The school year has been good but oh so busy with three different ages and big-kid lessons too.  We are praying about Gehrig's school plan beyond elementary and can't believe that will be here so soon.  Cherishing this year while we are all still together for sure!
