Here's to 2009!

It is past time to post. We have been so busy so far this new year that our collective heads are spinning! The holidays were a wonderful whirlwind and we are now exploding into the new year. After 2 years of diliberation and lots of prayers we finally decided to homeschool. Emma has suffered with asthma and misses an average of 40 days a year of school. She hasn't fallen behind in school, but she is bored and tired of being sick all of the time. So far homeschooling is challenging and wonderful at the same time. Rachael climbs up to the table to "school" at the same time and will sit and color for hours. Rachael is also learning to read and loves to participate in science experiments and art lessons. 2009 is full of promise.
