This past year was full of blessings! TL graduated from homeschool and is attending the local community college. My stepson was married to a wonderful woman and right before Christmas they announced that they are expecting. And Hubby finally retired from the Navy and is home with us.
It has been a busy few months full of readjusting to life with Hubby at home. Over the winter, he'll be on the road during the week and home on the weekends (he's a trucker). He really enjoys his new job and is having a great time.
We had a wonderful Christmas full of fun and games. We put together three puzzles Christmas week and watched hours of Hallmark movies. It was a lot of fun. Very relaxed and easy. I didn't feel too stressed at all. I still have two boxes to mail out and a few Christmas cards and I'm not too worried about it.
I've spent the last few days working on homeschooling lessons. I really let the planning portion of fun things slip away from me. I'm glad I got it back under control. I really felt like we were just doing the book basics and not doing anything fun. So, we're diving into American Indians and the girls will be putting together all sorts of houses and crafts and making some recipes. And we'll be studying geology in science and spending lots of time looking over rocks. Later this year, we'll move forward into the colonies for History and study the American Revolution. In science, we'll be studying weather and the human body. I have some fun activities saved on Pinterest for those units.
I pray that you all have a wonderful New Year!!
Blessings,
Michelle
