Firsts

First day of VBS....Pandamania!!

 Jayden's crew is filled with almost all of her besties: Isabella, Zoey and Paul (whom she is going to marry apparently).

 Zachary also found himself with his best buds:  Charlotte, Morgan, and Ryder.

 First day of Swim Lessons!  I was amazed to see my rambunctious Oliver respond so well to his instructor -- following directions! A.M.A.Z.E.D

Summer Home School

The afternoon air had the magical quality of freshness, freedom, and fun.  And we reveled in it, bursting into a spontaneous session of backyard schooling.

 Zachary worked on letter recognition while Jayden practiced writing lowercase letters.  

I put a bit of P.E. in the mix with somersaults and push-ups.  

It felt completely natural and easy to instruct my children in this way, and they responded with enthusiasm.  I am SO excited for our home to become an official School House!
