I had to sift back through my SD card and Instagram account to jog my memory of our recent family happenings. I may try to back track over the next few weeks and dedicate posts to certain events. Then again, I may not get back to it.
Some things we've been up to (and may appear as stand alone posts before long):
- A baby shower
- Enjoying fires in our fire place -- one of the upgrades at our new home!
- The theater, darling! The Little Mermaid Jr., the musical with friends
- A fire station tour with school friends
- A trip a local farm all decked out for Halloween/fall
- HALLOWEEN! Pumpkin carving, Halloween parties, and trick-or-treating with two little tigers
- A date with my man
- Very unprofessional photos (taken by us) of the girls
- And a few girls' days out for me
Homeschooling update:
I can't believe it's been over a month since the last update. Things are going well. VERY well. I'm so impressed with the Classical Conversations program and I'm impressed with Eleanor. My tenure as a babysitter to the sweetest little Avery Grace ended mid-October. We miss her, but we've also been able to add some fun things in like little projects and outings. I'm finding my stride as a homeschooling parent.
Notable things:
- Eleanor LOVES math. She always wants to start our days with math, and I'm always surprised by it.
- Eleanor is decoding words like a pro. She is forever trying to pick out words she knows and guessing on the words she doesn't -- even on my books. I may have to limit what I have out during the day. ;)
- We had to choose a poem to recite for our CC presentation. I enjoyed working with her to pick out and memorize a poem. We may add that into our repertoire somewhere.
We are looking forward to a memorable Thanksgiving, Advent, and Christmas season. I especially enjoy looking through all of the photos from the year and reminiscing on all of the great memories! Happy fall, friends!
