Week #1 of school is officially over! so much can happen in 4 short days! Homeschool for Shelby and me went fairly well. It was overwhelming for me at times and had many tears in my closet after everyone was in bed (or still at work in Mike's case!) It was a scary and lonely feeling but we both got through, had some laughs, learned some algebra and English along the way and I'm pretty sure we'll make it once we develop a routine. Thanks for your prayers! They were definitely felt!
Alix had a good week as a 7th grader. She did drop band and her beloved flute is in the process of being sent back (boo, hoo!) but she did try out and make the volleyball team which was her ultimate goal of the year! She found out yesterday and was so excited! Between the volleyball games/practices and cheerleading games/practices, she's going to be a very busy young lady! And yes, young lady is in order since a week from tomorrow she will be 13!!! My baby, all grown into a teenager! Or maybe "oh no, another teenage daughter" might be more appropriate! Anyway, all is well on the school homefront for now.
Please just keep me in your prayers as we go through this whole homeschool deal. And any of you who are currently homeschooling or have homeschooled at all, I could use encouragement at just about any time, I guarantee it!
Have a good weekend! And a good Labor Day holiday!
