Handmade is the best!

Ali was the lucky recipient of this darling handmade doll. Grandma worked very hard to give her this for her birthday, and it is very much loved and appreciated!

Homeschool Projects

Eli's curriculum for kindergarten includes some really fun projects, and I've been trying to remember to take as many pictures as I can to chronicle his year. The first two pictures are of the kids gathering leaves for a leaf printing project. They chose some pretty leaves from our poplar and sassafras trees, painted the backs of the leaves, and then pressed the painted sides down on paper. Then they lifted the leaves off of the paper. The result is really pretty. The bottom picture is of Elijah practicing his lowercase letters in shaving cream. Very fun!

A message for Sydney from Eli!

We'll be thinking of you tomorrow on your first day of school! We're proud of you!

Greenhouse Pictures

Here are some pictures that Elijah took on the Greenhouse field trip.

First Schoolday picture

Elijah has officially started his homeschooling program for Kindergarten. For his first day of school, we went on a field trip with our homeschool group to the I.U. Greenhouse. He and the other kids had a great time. We all learned a lot and were allowed to linger for as long as we liked. After the tour, we went for Chinese food on campus and then we took this picture beside the fountain in front of the music library. It was a great day.
