November/December in Review

November and December. Wow. We had a crazy couple of months. Grandbaby #2 came early. So our planned time off to adjust came early too. 

Two weeks off for that. 

Two weeks off for Stomach Flu/Upper Respiratory Infections

One Week off for Testing for Brandon 

It FLEW by. Before we knew it, we had taken an unplanned two month break off of school! Sure, we did SOME school work in between, a week here, a few days there, but nothing that amounted to much. It truly was like a whirlwind. 

But I am VERY happy to say, we are settled back in, back on track, and even though the Christmas holiday is upon us, we are working through getting things done. Even Grandbaby # 2 (Her name is BrayLyn by the way) has made her place in our household. I don't have many pictures to share, but I will of course share a few! 

We hope you will join us as we jump back in for a new month (and a new YEAR)! 

See you in January! 

BrayLyn is born early but she is healthy and soon joins us at home. 

She has to go back to the hospital for a some suntanning but comes back to us healthy.

BrayLyn celebrates One Month!

Brandon has to get some testing done because he is having some growth hormone delays. 

We are slowly getting back to our schedule though :) We talked about the formation for rocks and the formation of fossils. We made Dinosaur Fossil Cookies and they were super tasty!

We are also continuing on our virtual road trip! We are loving it so far. Mom also added a subscription to Little Passports America Addition, which is super fun! We just keep finding more and more supplements to add to the fun!

Mom has been a little stressed because we are taking out time with our math lessons, but she tries to remember that it is not a race to the finish line and that each kid learns at his/her own pace. The important thing is we are now learning in a stress free environment, we are spending quality time together as a family, and we are all MUCH MUCH happier as a family unit. And math aside, there have been improvements in SO many other areas. All in all things are going great! We are really excited to see what 2016 has in store for us!
