Becca is now officially in 11th grade.
Tom is officially a 7th grader. He has been down the shore since this weekend. Lucky kid!
I may have mentioned that I got a bike. Ed found it at a yard sale for $8.00! WooHoo!!
Since the van was totaled, (not by me), I have started to ride to the library and around town. Usually I have Katie with me but not today. I got to the libary and back in record time carrying about 15 lbs. of books on my back. ~smile~
This is really helping with the "weight". Already, I have noticed a big difference in the way my clothes have been fitting. Excellent!!
Becca had to dissect for Apologia Marine Biology. Here is the dogfish shark. It smelled bad. :(

I've been working on Katie's science for this next school year. We will be using the "free" classic life science (elementary) from www.eequalsmcq.com/ClassicScienceLife.htm . (also books from the library). I've been making notebooking pages, getting lapbook templates from http://www.homeschoolshare.com/ and also using http://www.enchantedlearning.com/ . For the Reptiles section I will use some lapbooking templates from HSS and the book 'The Wonders of God's World Dinosaur Activity Book' by Earl & Bonita Snellenberger (I received permission to copy this). I really have been wanting to do dinosaurs so I will slip this in. This is going to be a very nice science year. I can't wait. I believe it will hold her attention. She seems to like to write in a notebook and thoroughly enjoys lapbooking.
It's probably going to take us 2 years to get through all this science with the way I'm adding things. That's ok. She's only going to be 7. She has many years to go. ~smile~
About 2 weeks ago, Ed had to put in a garden. I say "had to" because he didn't want to but our dear friend, Jimmy, brought us tomato, egglant, and pepper plants. Tom and Katie planted them. They did a good job. We already have a tomato growing!
I'm thoroughly enjoying taking pictures with my Samsung SL30 camera. The more I work with it, the more I see what I can do. I didn't realize I could change the picture lightness/darkness. etc. It's not an expensive camera but it really has a lot of stuff on it.
Ben graduated highschool! This last year he was homeschooled. He will be attending college in the fall but still living here.
