I hope to be here a little more often than I have this past year :)
Much has happened in our family- probably too much to update all in one post! J is still on the hunt for his full-time job and I am doing school online for medical transcription. It's going very slow- it's not the kind of work one can do while overseeing schoolwork for a child. I'm hoping as I progress I might be able to flip back and forth so I can get hours in during the school day but for the moment it takes my full attention. So yes!- slow progress here.
We're having a great year of homeschool- each year gets a bit more intense than the previous. As it should be! We're loving our history studies which focus on ancient civilizations- I'm learning right along with E! We're in astronomy for science and hope to dust off the telescope this spring and get outside. All the other areas save for art I consider the basics which she is doing very well in. We'll be completing our first year of testing in about 2 months; it will be nice to have that first round under our belts. We've just begun swim lessons again this spring and she'll be finishing up her ballet in early May.
I'll leave this 'I'm back' post with some pictures of my last project. The nightgown was supposed to be for Christmas but I was only able to finish one set of pj's. She got this in February instead :) Her old flannel nightie bit the dust before this winter was underway so she was thrilled to have another. I made it plenty big for next winter as well!
I'll check in again soon!
