First Week of School












































































For the first week of school we went on vacation with our friends Rebecca and Stephan and Bryan's parents. We had warm, sunny weather every single day. It was great! We all had a lovely time. And I think our kids learned valuable lessons...here's a list I came up with:

1. Patience (when fishing and feeding deer)
2. How to Marvel at God's incredible creativity and beauty in nature.
3. Love (shown to family and friends)
4. Simplicity (how to have an incredible time with almost no toys)
5. How to build memories of joy and togetherness.

I think that some of these lessons are much more valuable than any text book or work page lesson. However, I do know that those work page lesson are important too. So this week, we've really hit the books and done some great work page learning. But, I love how with home schooling the two can be interwoven! And I love camping in Sept...no bugs, beautiful sun during the day, cool nights and no huge crowds.
