School

It has been a while since I've posted... have lots on my mind, which will have to wait for another post, but wanted to at least get a few pics up from school today.

The big girls doing some fraction fun with mommas 'special' homemade manipulatives

EBs daily sheet... purchased here but slightly modified for our needs

 

Something to keep JJ out of trouble - and learning too. Little man is sorting his bugs by color

JJs newest skill - cutting! He concentrates SO hard when he's working with his scissors!

It really is such a joy and privilege to be able to teach my kiddos, to watch them learn and grow... There are definitely days that are challenging (most recently due to a sweet little 2 year old - who is just that, a toddler who is curious about *everything* which means that sitting still/staying out of trouble for more than 1 minute is not part of his skill set - yet!), but overall I love having this time with them... getting to be the one who sees the light-bulb come on as they grasp a certain concept, or master a new skill... getting to hear their hearts and see God growing them, developing their character.

Tomorrow is a bigger day than normal... JJ is having 'surgery' to have ear tubes put in (again- his first pair have fallen out). This will be our first time with this particular surgery, his first set of tubes were put in in China... We know this is a short, easy, and not very risky surgery (all things considered) but this momma is starting to feel anxious, cant wait to have my son in my arms in recovery.
