School

So today was another good school day. We did his math...then on to his print work...which is really lacking so we need to focus more on that. We read a story and are memorizing a verse. They are both doing this and Merideth does better if we start the day with including her in school work. She will sit and color while Dale and I do math or read. I called My Father's World and am going to use it for Dale's 1st grade. I love how everything we have learned points back to the Bible. I am not sure what I am going to use for miss Meri Ellis. The MFW stuff for pre k is really just toys...so I am going to look a little more. Mardels is opening here soon, PTL, and they have a great section for homeschoolers so I am excited about that!! So off to get lunch and work on taxes...E

Sickness...

Okay so we are home from a great trip. We had so much fun and enjoyed the beautiful place we stayed. We give a hearty 2 thumbs up to Veterans Holidays. We miss our friends, or as Dale calls them "our other family"...and I miss all the homemade bread, but not more than my friends! YUM!

Well I have a really bad cold...
Dale has the stomach bugs...started about 3 this morning...He says that he has bugs in his tummy...Merideth has stomach eggs...which means she is feeling sympathy for Dale. I pray that is all!!

We are doing school. I am determined to make this work...I need more consistency so with that I am not going to be as available...school and training needs some focus. So leave a message...ha!

We are still trying to sell the house. It is a heavy burden on me and I pray we are done soon with this chapter! I don't do so well with change and we have a lot coming up!

I better go check on the progress of my little scholar!

Headed out

Vegas update....

So here are a few "random" shots of our Vegas trip. I really liked it a lot more than I thought that I would! The one of the kitchen is the typical kitchen in the houses, well the ones that still have a kitchen!! (More on that later!!) One is of oranges, Merideth LOVES oranges. Starwars M&M's to show Dale. A goal I had while we visited Vegas was to get photos to show the kids where we are moving, they are a little sad to be leaving Texas! Also is a photo of a view you can get from a house we looked at. And a photo of the drive up to the "cooler" weather in Vegas. Just 30 minutes out of town and the high only gets to 90 in the summer, I have a feeling we may be going to the Mtns a lot!!

Great view!! Now the hard part is just waiting to sell our house! We know where and what we want to buy in NV so we just wait...

We have another open house scheduled for tomorrow for Realtors and I hope to get some feedback on ideas of what can "move" our house! I better finish getting caught up around here!! E
