First Week of School

Well, life has been a whirlwind around here ever since school started back up again.  I've meant for some time to post pics of our first week back, but, well, since it's not on my "absolute necessity" list, it keeps getting pushed to the bottom. It's right down there with putting up my fall decorations. :)

So, I guess better late than never.  Here is a look at our first week back to school.

Mummifying Apples Experiment




Kaya working on her writing.




Joseph has been loving math these days!




Our memory work board that we do every morning.




Sophie wants to be just like her older siblings.  This may be why she always has marker all over her little body.  Hey, it keeps her happy! ;)




The Mayflower




Littles are practicing their alphabet in shaving cream.




Schools in session.

We've been having a blast (most days!) and learning lots. 

Now, don't think for a minute that just because school is back in session that we have put our adoption on the back burner.  We may have finished up our dossier and now are on the waiting list, but we still have some work to do!  We will be spending the next 6-18 months continuing to raise the money needed to bring our child home.  About $13,000 left to raise.  Right now we are working on a new fundraiser to be unveiled SOON.    Check back in the near future, as I am hoping to have pictures up shortly.  CAN'T WAIT to show you what we have been up to!!!
