Brilliant brother-in-law

In case there is anyone in the world that I haven't already told, Robert's baby brother recently got a perfect score on the ACT. The boy is crazy smart! We are so proud of him!

Completed Christ's Kids

Last Sunday Eric completed his Christ's Kids goal for this year. He had to repeat the first level (first man and woman, Jesus' mother and father, 7 days of creation) and then add the books of the New Testament and the 5 acts of worship. Yesterday he got his goody bag for completing his goals. After he learned his goals, he is able to start learning verses. That is the part we love. So, he said his first verse yesterday.

On the topic of verses, I have to share what he did yesterday. He was wanting to take a particular toy to his class. I told him that he could not take it because he is not allowed to take toys to class. He put it back on the table and then left the room. I heard him in the living room saying to himself "Do everything without complaining or arguing". This is one of the verses he has in his homeschool. I was so thrilled that the word is embedded in his heart and he knows how to apply it to his life. What a blessing it is to homeschool this amazing boy!

Fall Fun

In mid-October one of our homeschool Fridays was at Becky's house. She covered All About Me - 5 senses, bodies, etc. I got so many great pictures - I probably could post 50 here, but I will try to be selective...

Completely engaged! These kids have a blast and learn at the same time. It is fabulous! I love this pic because Eric and Kaden have the same pose. Those kids are so much alike!

Learning about mouths and taste buds.

After all the learnin', we walked down to the park for a picnic and some playtime.






Eric loves to take pictures. After I took several of him, he decided it was his turn. He does a pretty good job.

Verse for Unit 3

Here was his verse for unit 3.

Boo video

I have been having trouble uploading to my blogger - just got an updated Kodak Easyshare - I think the two haven't been friends. But, all seems to be well now. Here is a video from the night at Boo at the Zoo. It was funny because he was just yelling and talking to everyone. He always has such fun...
I will post more soon now that I have it all fixed.
