Fall is great!

Times are so busy right now - Homeschooling it's self is time consuming, Co-op classes, church and we have a Fall Fest coming up Wednesday. We have been working hard for weeks but it all comes down to the last minute preparations.

We have been having a great study on the earth and early exploration - the kids seem to really enjoy learning about how different people live and how things have changed over time. We are in the middle of a book about a little Jewish boy who lived in Poland - he tells of the hard times he and his family went though. The kids don't know what to think about what some kids have went though and I think it is making them some what realize how blessed they are.

Homeschooling is such a blessing.
I can spend time with my kids and do things we would not have time to do if they attend PC. I general we have a great time learning and laughing together. (we have our moments that are not so great but we keep pressing on and before long we are laughing again.) I couldn't image going back to getting up early and sending them to school and not seeing them again until the afternoon.
God is so good!

On another note Kenny is having surgery on his left shoulder on Nov.14th. It has been a big change around here going from him being in LA for 4 wks and now he will be home about 15 wks. Please pray for us that we will grow closer as a family during this time. His boss has been great but there are still a few things that need to be worked out - where he had this same surgery last year (only the other shoulder) his time is short we are praying that he will have enough time to last all 15 wks. Knowing that God is in control and will supply our every need gives me great comfort.

Thanks for checking on us,
Donna
