Anyway...

There's been so much going on here. To start with, Gabe, who's almost 8 now, is almost potty trained! Not at night yet, but he does wear undies during the day! We are homeschooling now, and with his present level, we are working on Kindergarten and some areas of pre-k (letters, numbers). He knows all his colors and shapes, and we're learning to count.

The twins are finishing out a 2nd grade curriculum, both are doing well, Caleb needs more help than her in reading and spelling, so we've been working on getting him interested in what he's reading about (snakes, spiders, reptiles).
James is working on finishing a 3rd grade curriculum, and wants to try an accelerated program next year to get caught up.

We've had a better year so far than last year. This time last year, we had just moved, and been foreclosed on, and then had to move again. Mike was off for a couple of months when Tyson flooded this summer, but thankfully he qualified for unemployment so we were able to get by.
I had to get rid of all the birds, except 1, that I had been breeding for extra income. We had to find a new home for our beagle, because where we moved we could only have 1 dog.
1 week into school, the kids had to change schools, because of us having to move. That was a major factor in us choosing to homeschool.
Well, this is long enough for now, I'll try to post more later.
