Happy 1st Birthday, Caroline!

This year has flown by - we can't believe that Caroline is one-year-old! We had a very small party for her. She wasn't too thrilled about her cake or the fact that it made her messy. She loved her toys (as did Emma Kate). We hope that you enjoy the photos!

Homeschool 101

We have started homeschooling our oldest daughter, Emma Kate. She is in pre-school. We have had a fantastic week. Emma Kate has amazed me with her ability to pick up things so quickly. She loves being schooled at home (I have to admit, I love it too). I am so blessed to have this opportunity with her.

Today I asked her to do her worksheet on the letter "A". I told her that I needed to go and tend to our one-year-old, Caroline. If she needed me I asked her to say "Mommy could you please come and help me". She assured me that she could do it all by herself. I went into the other room to tend to Caroline. A few minutes later I heard, "Mommy could you please come here?" I told her that I would be right there. As I walked into the room, I noticed her holding her paper high. It was done and done CORRECTLY! I was so proud of her!

Another time today we were sitting down learning our days of the week. As we were reciting them, my youngest daughter, Caroline, came in. I was expecting her to be rowdy and loud, but instead she very quietly sat down next to me and simply listened.

I am so thankful that the Lord has given me the opportunity to school our children at home - teaching them the ways of Christ, to love Him, serve Him and glorify Him in all things.

Until next time,
Michelle
