But had to comment on the Texas history -- as an East-Coaster-married-to-a-Texan, my husband and I always laugh when my boys ask questions about Texas history and I have to refer them all to their dad, triggering the comment "didn't y'all learn this all in seventh-grade Texas history?" Sheesh. My boys will no doubt outstrip me quickly in the Texas history department! <br /><br />Blessings to you on your journey!<br />SharynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-13868620185130000842010-09-20T01:31:42.836-05:002010-09-20T01:31:42.836-05:00Oh my gosh, the HAIR!

...Oh my gosh, the HAIR! I am laughing so hard. :)<br /><br />That sounds like an interesting book--I'd be curious to read it. I really enjoyed reading your perspective on it and how you connected it to you and your husband--definitely thought-provoking! And sad, too.<br /><br />It's getting cooler where I live :) finally (San Francisco). Today felt so fall-like, and I LOVED it.<br /><br />love your blog!Kelly Loy Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07631392902817058541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-45050245751194696852010-09-18T23:22:24.089-05:002010-09-18T23:22:24.089-05:00Sounds like teaching your 6 and 8 year olds histor...Sounds like teaching your 6 and 8 year olds history together is a great plan. My kids attend a Montessori school with mixed-age classrooms. The first, second and third-graders are often studying the same subject--of course the little ones aren't working at exactly the same level, but they are interested in each other's work.<br /><br />There's a lot of Montessori literature about the benefits of mixed-age groups of kids learning together. I see no reason why homeschoolers should have to prepare separate lessons on everything for each child.<br /><br />Laurie Bdesmoinesdemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18015258822622884107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-87325388109130296902010-09-18T17:17:21.743-05:002010-09-18T17:17:21.743-05:00enjoyable!

Our family recently moved from Atlanta, GA to the United Arab Emirates. It has been a blessing in so many ways, but I am still having to deal with some culture shock issues (even though there is so much I love about the culture) and the rebuilding of my support network. Your writings about living overseas have been helpful.

That makes great sense! Do you have a plan for them next year while you're in the states or will you not be there into the school year? <br />And I totally hear you on how hard it is without the community and accountability of the body of Christ! We don't have anyone here so our weekly worship is just my husband, the kids and me. I appreciate how much work my husband puts into preparing to preach and for the music, but it would be nice to have others to share it with!Jessica B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04474436497341638172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-50400333798262598422010-09-17T08:09:56.851-05:002010-09-17T08:09:56.851-05:00Here in Alabama it is still pretty hot (91 degrees...Here in Alabama it is still pretty hot (91 degrees yesterday), but the mornings are cooler and I love it. <br /><br />I too love the sweet noises babies make when nursing. They are so content and at peace. I also love how they will stop nursing, look up at you and smile like you are the best thing in the world, and then go back to nursing. Sweet times I hope I always remember.MamaHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12933602709751520328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-60647312571939558812010-09-17T07:21:33.868-05:002010-09-17T07:21:33.868-05:00I've had fun reading your 7 quick takes.

My husband was three when his sister was born, and according to his mother, he was extremely disappointed to get to the hospital and discover that she didn't have pigtails! He was ready to send her back.<br />~BethThe Arab Musicianshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05396672971235225341noreply@blogger.com
