Promotions 2011

We made it through another year of school in the Rouge House! At the end of the year we did a BBQ and Promotion day with the children. My mom, Nana, Aunt Lisa, Lindsay, Shelby and our friend Jeremy came over to celebrate the end of the year with us. The kids sang the books of the bible, did book reports and told their fave bible stories. Then they were promoted to the next level.

Alex will be entering the 6th grade.

Tylor will be entering the 5th grade.

Melodey will be entering the 4th grade.

1/10-1/13/11 School Week

This week we had a lot of fun doing school, lots of science projects, PE in the snow and just all around fun schooling. Tylor finished another book and Alex is almost dine with his. We made a model of Mercury, saw how craters are formed and saw how volcanoes work on Venus. Along with Math, we are working on Multiplication; Reading, Ty is reading the cul-de-sac Kids series, Melodey is reading Amelia and Alex is reading the Sugar Creek Gang series. The kids Memorized and wrote our 1 Corinthians 16:14 this week as well as learned about Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah and Hezekiah. Here are some pics of the week.

Our Homeschool Group

I have been fasting now for 5 days with specific prayers about our life everyday. One of them being about our homeschool group. I love the ladies in it. I adore the children too. But something (God's small still voice) was telling me what I didn't want to hear, at first.

We as a family are stepping down from the group, not just as presidents, but also as members. I have felt this nag on my heart for sometime, but like with everything I fought God.

We do things a certain way with having Tylor and adding in a group I don't do anything with has made it very stressful. I love the friendships I have gained through the group, but this is what God is leading me to do.

I don't know what His plans are for our family, but we are willing and ready to do whatever He calls us to do. Thank you PACHA family for always being there for us!!
