Hebrews 13:17

Obey your leaders (because) they keep watch over you. Hebrews 13:17

That is our verse for the week. Actually it was our verse last week too but since we were at the beach last week, I figured it couldn't hurt to keep the same verse for a couple of weeks.

I love that my son LOVES to learn. He enjoys our 'school' time. His least favorite activity is his handwriting sheets but I have added them to his curriculum so I am not pushing them right now. If he chooses to do them...he will.

We don't actually follow a structure to our days right now. School just gets 'fit' into our days. With J sometimes needing a morning nap, we will fit school time in then, and other days we are busy running around or exploring outside that school happens as a down time before bed. I am sure once we progress in our homeschool adventures, we will have to add more stucture to it.

I am also going to join a bible study group on Tuesday mornings. I like that it not only is a time of fellowship and learning for me, but the children's program is more than just a time to be 'babysat'. There is also an educational program for the kids. Also I am wanting to put CO into Awana this year.  I am taking a year break from being a leader in Girl Guides as last year just didn't work with me shuffling the boys, dragging them along when I didn't have a sitter, etc. Guiding has changed a lot in the last couple of years and my heart is less into. I still LOVE being a leader and the program, I am just needing a break. We'll see what next year brings as CO will be old enough to be a 'Beaver' (mini-boyscout) and his program would be the same night as Girl Guides in our local town.

I am on the fence with the whole gymnastics thing. It would be good for him but I am not sure how many events away from home I want to schedule in our days each week. But it is also be good for him to do this as a 'big' thing on his own without J, but it is also a lot of $. I need to decide as I think I need to sign him up tomorrow night.

The doctors office called and have booked J's surgery for this Wednesday morning. So please pray at 8am for the surgeons as they preform the surgery as well as for my father who has agreed to watch CO for the pre-op appointment tomorrow afternoon and the morning of the surgery.
