Two days ago, my sixth grade daughter, my fourth grade son, and I read a couple of chapters in a wonderful textbook titled The Landmark History of the American People by Daniel J. Boorstin.  It was part of our Sonlight … Continue reading →

I just read an article by John Stossel on school choice (H.T. Olasky at WorldMagBlog). It seems that bureaucrats at many of the better performing government schools aggressively police their student bodies to assure that only the “right” kids be … Continue reading →

I uploaded a couple of very cool pictures last night.  Christian took one of them as Rubix and a squirrel out on the apartment balcony eyed each other. Rubix and Sandy the Texas Squirrel The second one is even better!  … Continue reading →

We are doing well in homeschool now, but I read an article today that might change our approach to the way we are teaching Christian. He is doing just a great job, but I think he gets pretty frustrated by … Continue reading →

Kelly and Christian start music lessons again today. We found a very interesting homeschooled lady who got a degree in Music from SMU and married a fellow homeschooler after her graduation from high school. This will be Christian’s first guitar … Continue reading →

Lorena will take Grandpa Lauro and Grandma Conchita to the bus station in Garland so they can catch a bus that leaves for Monterrey at 8:00 this evening. It has been nice having them here. Last night, Christian, Kelly, and … Continue reading →
