This little boy is 5 months old now! 

Oldest sister is a big help in watching little man!


Older brother likes to hold the baby and read to him.


Big sister thinks he is her baby doll. :-) 
She is a wonderful little mama to him. 


His hat fell off. She put it back on. Love it! 
He sticks that little tongue out a lot now. So cute.


He likes to sit in the high chair and watch us work in the kitchen.


He enjoys the jumperoo in our homeschool co-op nursery.


This boy is a super happy baby. Many people comment on how "chill" he seems. He loves to just watch all the activity in our home. He will stand for over an hour in his exersaucer and just watch, laugh and smile at life. 


He is sleeping better and better all the time. He doesn't like traveling at night (afraid of the dark?) but travels well during the day. He coos and tries to talk with us. He just loves anyone who will give him attention. 

During this season of thanksgiving, we recognize this little child is one of the greatest blessings of the year for our family!

Homeschool Co-op Wraps Up

Posted by My Heart Song

11/28/2017


We have continued to participate in our homeschool co-op this fall. We meet on Wednesday mornings from 9 until 12:30 for 12 weeks. Around 50 families participate. The kids choose from a range of class options, all offered because moms are willing to help teach and lead. 

Our fall semester just wrapped up, ending with a final program to highlight some of what the students learned. All of the children worked on memorizing Psalm 100 this semester. In the picture above, all of them are on stage reciting these verses.


These were my oldest daughter's classes: It's All Greek to Me (Greek mythology and culture), Scrapbooking, Life Skills, and Newspaper. My daughter created this paper mache urn for her Greek class.


Here is the scrapbook she created.


My elementary age son took these classes: Gym, YWAM Missionary Study, Paper Airplanes, and Eating Around the World. In the eating class, they signed a contract on the first day to agree to TRY all of the new foods they would make this semester. He did well, trying everything. 


My younger daughter is in Preschool. She loves going to co-op. She especially loves her teacher and her gym class. She is very shy, though, and hardly speaks (from what the teachers tell me)... so unlike her talkative-self at home.



My younger two boys are in the nursery with me during most of co-op. Lots of playtime for them and for me, plenty of social time to chat with other moms.

We love our co-op!
