Catching up

I know it has been SO LONG, but we have been SO BUSY! Have I mentioned we are homeschooling? I knew it would take a lot of my time, but reall, I HAD NO IDEA. We have recently switched to a pre-boxed curriculum that is making a big difference though. It is AlphaOmega's LifePac series and it really is wonderful. I think Stephanie is finally really LEARNING rather than just regurgitating information or cheating (which it seems was the vast majority of the time).

Anyway, the other day she said to me, "You know, with the homeschooling, I definately under a lot less pressure." I tried to play it cool, but inside I was jumping up and down. Maybe she is finally seeing that we are trying to make things better/easier for her in the long run.

Also, I snapped these two pictures of STephanie working at her desk in our little schoolroom today:
