Kindergarten Update!

W started K5 in August and we are having a great time homeschooling. Our biggest worry was whether we would find new friends to play with as most of his buddies are in school all day. We miss them all so much! However, W is quickly forming new friends that are homeschooling too. K never meets a stranger and has not had a minutes trouble meeting new friends. W loves going to computer class on Wednesdays and he is so glad that soccer is finally starting up. K is great and participates in Bible and science lessons with us. She does her own workbook while W does math. She plays on her own (usually dress up) while W has his reading lesson. Not a day goes by that I do not realize how blessed I am to be able to teach them at home and enjoy being with them. I guarantee that I learn more than they do on any given day! It has also been awesome to be in the background as they make up new games and "tending" (pretending) together. K has an unbelievable imagination while W is more of a realist like me :), so he really benefits from her creative play. It is true that the house never really gets cleaned the way I would like and if it does it certainly doesn't stay that way for long! But I have found peace about that in realizing that there are things in life that are not worth the risk of missing out on for the sake of a clean house. I can't thank B enough for being such a kind, supportive and patient husband in this journey we have begun! I have never done anything close to deserving a man like him!
