Just a day in our life

Thought I'd share some pictures that seem to capture a couple events that are regular in our day to day.  


Jordan and I have school time every day (well, almost every day anyway) after Amélie gets laid down for her first nap.  I'm pretty proud of this little punkin who is learning to read, write and use critical thinking skills to solve word puzzles.


Her lines are still a little shaky but she's doing great staying on the lines and she's finally worked up the confidence/courage (not quite sure the right word here) to write them on her own without tracing; look at that beautiful 9 that she wrote on her own!


This is the second book we've used in this "series."  We loved the first one that teaches great math skills along with the dexterity to cut lines.  By the end of the first book (she was 2 1/2) she could cut circles without any help!  (along with many other skills, of course!)  This second book is a more advanced version of the first that also dives more deeply into writing as well.  We absolutely love these books and recommend them highly.  We've also been using several other books that we've picked up from various stores, had homeschooling friends generously pass on to us that they didn't use or we've even gotten one by posting a want ad on craigslist!


And here is my other sweet little munchkin who is all over the place, into everything, climbs, climbs, climbs, tries to escape constantly if the gate isn't up and makes us all smile abundantly.  

I am sure blessed with some wonderful little girls!  Thank you Lord for pouring out such blessings on us!
