Month: September 2024

We joined this new COOP, Coyote which is…Christian Youth Together in Education.

Our first day was today!

Tatum will be taking Science, History/Literature (which I’m teaching), Riches (Humanities) and Bible.

When we got there, she saw so many friends!

We will be delving into the Renaissance period, studying Shakespeare, DaVinci, Galileo, and Newton, and Michelangelo to name a few.

At home we continue to do Saxon (7/6), Grammar (with the Magic Lens MY FAV!!!…4 levels of grammar), English (stems!!! She’ll know 500 by 8th grade), Reading, and more Bible. AND MORE WRITING!
She also is taking a Creative Writing class online from Royal Fireworks Press. (it’s for gifted writers which is my Tot!)

What a great year it is starting out to be. She already has produced a great story using her new vocab words. I love practicing what we learn.

One thing she does REALLY well is make a great balanced snack. Oh, and it’s pretty. (crackers with nut butter and sprinkles, beef stick cut up, and cashews.

Thank you, Jesus, for this group. Tatum feels so welcome and accepted here.

May you continue to heal me so I can be the BEST for Tatum!
AMEN!

The death of our glorious tree!

When something becomes a bit lopsided, you have to ask, will it fall?
We all get a bit lopsided at times. We get pruned on one side and then we start to go way too far the other way becoming unbalanced. This poor tree was doomed to fall as we will as well if we don’t get trimmed (usually by HIM). Gratefully, this tree was taken down today.

and the beauty of this tree was demolished and turned into dust. YIKEEEE!!

We better watch out so we don’t get turned to dust!
And so, the good news?

A new beginning. A new start. Jesus, did this FOR US! He did not turn us to dust, but He renewed and replanted….

Just like Tatum’s new babies! They came the same day.

Alix and Alice.

And now they are one big happy baby family.

May we be renewed day by day. Thank you Jesus for standing in the GAP for us.
