Homeschool.


Enough about the food already. I dont know why everyone is so hungry and complaining...I brought penut butter!

Adam taught us a card game tonight that his buddies Kebede and Tyler taught him. He appears to have inherited our competitive spirit but unfortunately for him, his father's card skills. It has been easier to engage the boys in games then homework. We have some kinks to work out with our home school system. Evan has made it clear that he prefers his regular teachers and does not agree with our ideas. However, we are all enjoying the book "The Cay" that was recommended reading for both boys. Evan has also started teaching Adam how to type using a computer program. Boyd and I have both enjoyed new books "The legend of Bagger Vance"  (about golf) and "Cheaper by the dozen". Guess which one Boyd read. As a family we are reading a devotional called "Jumper Fables". In addition to the books, we have daily lessons from the people we meet. We traveled this past weekend with 2 guys from London and 2 from Australia who have seen more of the world than we could imagine.        JK
