We survived our first year of homeschool! Yes!
We had a great time and are going to do it again next year. We all definitely learned a lot in the process (which is what it's all about right?)I'm starting to shop for some of our supplies for next year online already. I'm looking forward to being home during the day next fall to "school" the boys. :)
A little update for those of you who haven't been following us on Facebook...
Kerry was offered a full time job this fall. He was going to be looking, but the opening was unexpected. It was definitely a God thing and we are very thankful for His control of our lives. I will be able to cut down to a .5 position at PCC. I'll be teaching one class in the evenings and working on Simulation from home during the day. (I'm sure I'll pick up some stuff here and there too). So I get to stay home during the day with the boys (my dream job!) and teach a little in the evenings and work on things at PCC weekends etc.
The family is doing great! Kerry's work at S'cool services has slowed down a bit for the summer, but he's got a few jobs in the mountains this summer. I'm teaching a class this summer at PCC and still teaching online classes. The boys are done with school for the summer.
Gabe has lost 5 teeth total now! He had to lose 3 on the bottom to make way for his TWO new teeth there. He's missing the top 2 big teeth, so there's a big hole there. He's been saving his teeth for when Papa Kevin comes to visit (he's got better connections with the tooth fairy than mom and dad do).
Otto *thinks* he has loose teeth on the bottom. He tells me all the time "mom there's a little wiggle on my bottom teeth." He's doing a great job reading. We made a deal with them to keep them reading this summer so they're working hard.
We're looking forward to heading back to Kansas in a couple weeks to visit with friends and family. Then plans to go to Wyoming for the big Plett gathering!
Hope all is well with you. Love you all have a great next couple of weeks (or until the next time I remember to update) :)

It's been a while
I know we haven't updated in a while. Trying to find time to post here is harder and harder. :)
Classes for Erin are finished. Now a week of faculty development and nursing department meetings, then I'll be done. I am teaching a summer class on Tuesday mornings. But it will be so nice to only have to go in once a week! Yes!!!
Kerry is getting closer to being done with classes. He's taking 2 this summer and a couple next fall. Things are stretched out a little more than we were expecting, but are trusting that it's all in God's timing.
Our plans for next year are still up in the air. So many unknowns for us. We're praying for guidance and clear direction for our family. We very much want me to be able to stay home and Kerry to work full time. It's just with the job market how it is now it's easy to get worried. But wek now that if it's God's will, He will make a way.
The boys are doing well. Gabe and Otto are getting close to the end of school. Of course everyday is a learning day at our house! :) Zeke has two teeth on the bottom. He's rolling all over the place and working hard to crawl. It's fun to watch the new things he's learning everyday. He wants so much to keep up with the big boys.
Hope things are going well with all of you! Have a great week.
