Falling leaves bring a lot of fun!

Volcano Experiment

We had fun today creating a volcano that erupted

Wow, what a winter it has been.

Since early November when I posted last,

We finished the first half of our Classical Conversations Homeschool Year

(Love this group!)

My 3rd born turned 7

My 1st born turned 12

We celebrated Thanksgiving and Christmas

I had two stents put in an artery that had narrowed

I had surgery to remove 1 1/2 ribs on my left side that were compressing that narrowed artery

Thank you to my wonderful friends and family who took care of my home and children while I was away, and who continue to give a helping hand as I recover and try to catch up on life.

For my friends and family, I did not get out any Christmas cards to anyone

So please accept my belated Merry Christmas to you :o)

Below are some pictures from our last few months

"Well, let’s look at the metaphor of the Greenhouse—or the hothouse, as some have called it. You don’t transfer plants right from the greenhouse into the field. Before that transfer, plants go through an intermediate process called a “cold frame.” A cold frame differs from a greenhouse in that it doesn’t have as much temperature control. There’s much more fluctuation of temperature than in the greenhouse. There, the plants get used to changing temperatures so they don’t go into shock out in the field. That’s where the plants are “hardened.”

Similarly, there are transitional involvements and activities that allow our children—once they’re well-rooted morally, doctrinally, and spiritually and have a strong sense of what they believe and who they are in Christ—to progressively be exposed to different points of view."
