And so begins week number three (ALREADY?!) of Ella's Kindergarten career. She is a champ. Loving it, loving her friends and yes, loving coming home at noon. We spend part of the afternoon playing and having lunch then we do a bit of school work at home. We are working on some math today but a lot of what we are doing are the
Dolch sight words. We started last week and she has 10 of them down like nothing. I am going very slow and adding 5 words a week. I want it to be fun and not a chore. We are taking trips to the library again next week and at the end of this week are are planning on doing some "scientific study" in the backyard.
I joined a local homeschooling group and they have been very gracious, inviting us to events already. It is going to be a great glimpse into what is out there for us. We are trusting God to lead us in the direction he wants us to go as to next year for her schooling.
Last but not least, today is the 2 year anniversary since Maddie's surgery. I am amazed by all of my children everyday but today is one that I really celebrate her. I can never thank God enough for all he has done for her and in turn me. My faith has grown by leaps and bounds and I know with His guidance it will grow even more.

Sounds like Ella is doing fantastic. I think you have made a good compromise with school. Nice way to get acquainted with the homeschooling scene and see if its for you. I admire you for that!
Oh and the princess, I'm so glad she is here for us to be thankful over. I never wanted to tell you but my heart sank when I heard she had to have surgery. We prayed, and hoped, and prayed some more. I'm so thankful she made it through it all with no lasting effects.
