Wow, it has been a while since I have been here. It has been so busy the last year. We started homeschooling both of the kids in September. Emmalee is in kindergarten and Eoin is in preschool. Eoin sits with us or is at least listening while I help Emmalee. He is catching on to so much stuff. He read a book the other night by sounding out words. Mike and I were both shocked. He is catching on to addition as well. When I do flashcards with Emmalee, he yells the answer faster than her at times. Both of them have a passion for learning for I am grateful as their mother and teacher.
Emmalee turned 6 in February. How do I have a six year old? It doesn't seem possible. Oh, how I wish I could relive some of those early times with her. She is starting to grow into a little girl and grow out of the preschooler stage. Her face is looking older now. She has till not lost any teeth and she is okay with that.
Eoin turned 4 in October. Again, how can that be? It seems like just yesterday I was holding him as a tiny little baby. He is now officially a preschooler and growing up to be a little boy and eventually a man. I wish I could go back and relive some of his younger moments too. He can be very stubborn but then turn around and be so delightful.
Homeschooling both of them has been a great experience for me. I love it. I love watching them learn and seeing how proud of themselves they are. I love everything about it even though it is hard.
Both of them have been my "velcro" children lately. They have been stuck to me like glue lately. They do not want me out of their site for more than a few minutes. That is fine for now because it won't be long until they are thinking mom is 'icky'. However, I do need a small break from them every so often. I love 'rest' time.
Mike and I are teaching Awana Cubbies again this year. It has been a great year. However, Mike wants to return to school himself in the fall and I think we will not be able to teach next year. That is okay. It will give me a few hours once a week of kid free time. It will also take some pressure off of me and I will be able to do some planning for homeschool during that time.
Well there you have a quick review of the last year.
