I Can’t Remember …

Tracy / January 23, 2014

September 26, 2013– Zoo Trip

Tracy / September 27, 2013

This year, we’re using Answers in Genesis science. We’ve been starting with the study of animals. It’s been a fun curriculum…and probably a much-needed change for me. Since we’re working on animals, it seemed like the perfect opportunity for a zoo visit. The weather was perfect…we had such a great day!

He did finish…

Tracy / January 31, 2013

Have you ever seen a television truck? They are the most massive, amazing things to see…wires and lights all over- people coming and going. Some have rooms that expand out from the sides of the truck. Paul works as a remote television engineer for a local, Christian-owned company. His job has him up, often before the light of day, preparing…

The Four Facts

Tracy / November 8, 2012

My littles have all been learning their multiplication facts, while the older children are working through drills. This is another video Paul created to help them drill facts. They listen to one of them for a few minutes each day. We’ve been doing this for right at a month. It’s funny to hear Meredith (age 3), trying to recite multiplication…

Paul has been creating little videos for our children to learn their multiplication facts. They watch them each day during our school time. We thought we would share with all of you! (Hopefully, we’ll have more soon. :D)
