Life at Oak Grove

Today is Alexandre last day of school...  and our first step toward homeschooling.

I wonder how it will go in the next few weeks, trying to get organized and to plan a schedule of some sort.

Yesterday evening, he did his first lesson of French on the Rosetta Stone software and he loved it.   We figure that this could ease my load a bit with the baby coming and all.   So we found out that he can read a bit which is a very good news...   He just need some encouragements!!!

I am still waiting PATIENTLY for my Come Sit By Me program.   I know it is in the mail but boy is it slow to get here...   Hopefully I will get it this week then I can see which books I need to get, go to Value Village (a second-hand store) to see if I can find some there for a cheap price...  Books can be expensive sometimes.   But hey, I have three kids following so it is not lost...

I am seriously thinking of starting in a few weeks with the Math-U-See... Alexandre has already 10 lessons done.   So it shouldn't be a problem.   He loved it.  

You might think that I am crazy to do homeschooling during summer time but to be honest I like the suggestion that someone gave me because of the c-section and all...   I want to take a bit of advance so that I can have a more relaxed schedule for the weeks after the arrival of baby #4.   And I figure out that February is a hard month on me...  somehow it affects my mood... more depressed somehow.  And there is a possibility of a mission trip to Dominican Republic with our church.  I won't be going but God's willing (contracts are needed...) Rob and Alexandre might go.   We will see when the trip must be paid and see if we can afford it.    I would have loved to go with them but baby will be only 1 months and a half so it is not a good thing.

Well, right now I have done lunch because we are having a picnic at the little party today at school.   We are waiting until 10:15am to leave...  Another 2 hours or so to go.

Good thing I had time to update this morning...  I also had time to do my devotions which is good because lately I find it hard to do it early morning.
