Busy Days!

These past few days have been busy days for sure! This is Emily, she is 6 and is in the 1st grade. We have ventured on into the homeschooling world. We set up a school station in the garage with the intention of building walls to create our school room. Here is Emily, sitting at her desk on her first day of school.

I definitely have a deeper appreciation for the art and skill of a teacher. Those that are called to teach are GEMS and should be treated as such. I will never again bock at hearing about another teacher strike and say "What are you complaining about you have the summer off paid." (oh, come on, I know I am not the ONLY one to have thought that!...be honest)

Teaching is hard! We have had some good days. On those good days we have so much fun. I love being with Emily and learning together. Seeing her think about things and get excited when she gets it. We have also had some really hard days. Which is expected. However, we are trying to determine what is best for Emily right now and the family so this story continues...

And here is Lindsey! She is 5 and in Kindergarten. This is her first day of school and she is riding the bus. It was a little scary at first but then she made a friend. While we were waiting for her to make friends she brought her stuffed "spidy" as her bus buddy and that helped.

Lindsey is excited to be in school. She is doing well and loves her friends and teacher.

So that is life right now... at least leaving it on this note for awhile has got to be better than leaving it on the toilet paper note for so long...sorry about that.
