Homeschooling Day #4

I'm not sure if the goats that our neighbors rented to clean out part of their lot was a hindrance to our homeschooling effort or really helpful...I'm going to go with helpful!  We have really enjoyed watching those 35+ goats eat their way through the brush.  Probably our favorite though, is the Great Pyrenees, George, who guards the flock. I didn't get a picture of him, he was off in the woods napping from his late night patrolling.

Home Schooling

Welcome 2016!!  We are ready to greet this new year with a big new endeavor!  Home Schooling!!  We are going to home school our girl - for at least the Spring Semester.  She is being a real trooper about the whole ordeal and I hope we don't let her down.  I'm super excited about this opportunity & am looking forward to spending more time with her this year.  I'm also going to try & document the experience and at the same time - try and take more personal photos...we'll see how this goes!  Wish us luck!!

Busy at work on her journal.  We're working on her new space too!

Growing up!

Remember when you were little how you wanted to be and do just like your parents?  I remember, when I was 4 or 5, how bad I wanted to be married.  All I knew was that married people got to sleep together in the same bed & I hated sleeping alone in my bed.  My parents regularly removed me  from their bed... I still remember crawling to the corner edge of my mom's side of the bed, hanging on for dear life and hoping that she wouldn't kick me out of her already-too-small-for-2-grown-adults double bed. 

My little girl loves the idea of wrapping her hair up in a towel like her mama does.  For the longest time her head was too small and the towel too big for it to work.  That didn't stop her from trying though.   A few weeks ago she & her sweet friend tried their darnedest and were so proud of themselves for accomplishing this adult task. Another sign they are growing up too fast!
