We had a great evening yesterday with the Steljis family over from Charlotte. It turns out we read the same kinds of books and have a lot in common. The kids played games, carved pumpkins, rode the hovercraft, and generally … Continue reading →

Our good friends from the Charlotte area are coming for a visit.  John and Terrie and their three kids.  It should be a lot of fun.  Kelly and Christian want to go ice skating or something like that, but it … Continue reading →

We fouled up pretty bad on the Sunday, but other than that, we had a very nice weekend!  We arrived at the Sunday morning fellowship meeting at 10:15, but no one was there.  Lorena told me she had received a … Continue reading →

Last night Kelly and I spent a few minutes together to help her get the hang of her knitting a little better.  It is not that difficult to knit, but is difficult to knit well until you have practiced a … Continue reading →

Yesterday the kids finished their homework by about 2:00 PM.  Then, while Christian was at his guitar lessons, Lorena bought a bunch of knitting supplies.  Christian is pretty much the veteran knitter in the crew as he did a scarf … Continue reading →

We are really starting to ramp up on our homeschool again. Christian finished his last Pre-Algebra homework assignment yesterday and we got everything corrected up. He will be doing some major, end of section testing today, then he will start … Continue reading →
