Update

I have quite a few drafts of new blog posts needing to be finished and posted...maybe I'll get to them soon, I'd rather just type up a general update on life this cold and windy winter day. We are definatley feeling "cabin fever" or the "winter blues". This February has been particularly cold! Even the dog is going a little stir crazy, chewing on everything in sight. I read in a homeschool magazine that most people give up homeschooling during this time of the year when things are extremely challenging. But to remember spring is right around the corner and those long hot summer days will be here (huge smile)! I guess I've adjusted to TX weather.

Adoption- All our information is in to the attorney we are just waiting for her to finalize everything and set a court date. I think we will feel quite a relief once that is done. We will still have another long and crazy process until she's a US citizen but we'll figure that out after we have the adoption completed.

Homeschool- We are still studying Native Americans and all of us (myself included) are really enjoying that! Today during Math time, K (6) was answering all the problems right away and T (8) said, "How do you answer these so fast, you aren't in 3rd grade." I'm trying to encourage each one's strengths and work on their weaknesses. D joined in with some math flash cards and we used cubes for him to count with. And the little two, well I try to keep them busy.

Well, hubby made it home early! Gotta enjoy that time!
