Caleb


As I am going through my pictures to get ready to post I realize that a lot of what we do is when Caleb is at school. Granted it is only 2 days a week but we always seem to be out and about without him. This made me sad! I am sure you have missed seeing his handsome little face as much as I have! I received an email a few weeks back from Caleb's teacher that I thought I would share. He is truly a special boy! He can light up a room with his smile and is hilariously funny. I have to be careful in his silliness to not rob him of that beautiful gift!


Denise,
I have been meaning to email you to tell you how wonderful your son is! I really truly could take him home with me!!!
Sorry I mixed up the mental math worksheets - you can do the subtraction one just one time. :)
And, thank you for your encouraging words about science. Just a warning: making a cabbage indicator will STINK up your house for 2 days!!!
Thank you for having Caleb so well prepared for school each day. It amazes me how you do it, and I am sure it isn't always easy. So, I appreciate your dedication and hard work. I hope to get to know you more throughout the school year.
Blessings,
Laura

Caleb is the one doing all of the preparing! Especially since he is the only one going. He packs his backpack the night before and makes his own lunch, he pulls out his uniform and everything he will need to wear, in the morning he gets himself ready. He has become very diligent in these things and it not only helps me but I know it will prepare him for his very bright future!

Denise- ANY kid that makes his own lunch and packs his backpack the night before is to be heartily commended for being completely unlike every other kid!! I am SO stinking impressed! Caleb is totally going to be a heart-breaker ;) and I've always been really impressed by him in that he just looks like he's ready for fun, but has a lot of self control too. That is actually true of all your kids!! :) So, have you found a job for Paul out there yet?? :)

It's a Dell!

I am so thankful to be posting right now! Maybe some didn't even notice we were gone! Mac users will be laughing at this post because this would never happen to them! I think that guy from Ed has a commercial about it too. A week ago Monday my computer just died, just like that, it made a funny sound and went black. After sitting in shock for a few minutes I called Dell. This company runs a tight ship and I couldn't be more impressed. We did not buy the extended warranty when we purchased the computer so they could not send a technician for free but what they will do is let you send it to them in a box they pay for and ship. The whole process including sending me a new powercord to test first, took 7 days and did not cost me a dime! It was the motherboard and they did whatever it is they do to replace it. I could not believe the service that comes just for owning a Dell! We have had the computer for almost 3 years and have not put a dime into it beyond the actual purc...

Doing Great!

Well we made it through our first 1/2 week with no major catastrophes! Just a lot of learning going on and not nearly enough mommy to go around! We are doing lots of review which is a plus for me because it made it a little less obvious that I am winging it in many areas! I am great with doing...abc, 123 in this order check check check...but the style and curriculum and rigor of what we use call for much more! So this weekend I did a little more leg work to have more available. Specifically the printables for the kids penmanship using Abby's Spell to Write and Read as a guide and scripture for the boys. I also dug a lot deeper and was able to tie the World History book I am using in with the US History book and the next hurdle is to find the appropriate Literature for each child corresponding to whatever we are studying. The internet is amazing!!! I had already mapped out the math for the year which is very easy when the lessons are designed to be taught 1 per day. Logic is als...

It's a 410!

Caleb finally got to go out and shoot his 410 shotgun. Yes, HIS 410 shotgun that he saved up for! It is a scary thing for a mommy but daddy handles all of our gun issues. I was just getting comfortable with the BB guns. Maybe I should do a weapon rundown. 1 shotgun, 2 BB guns, 1 Bow & arrow, arrows, 6 slingshots, 2 giant Nerf super shooter thingys, 3 nerf guns......who would have thought this would happen in my house? Anyways, Caleb had such a great time shooting clay targets. He and daddy went with Chip out to a friends 150 acre ranch and his 12 year old son hopped in the truck and drove them to this spot.....yes I said 12 years old.
