Shannon Meets a Horse

Shannon has dreamed of riding a horse. She wants to take lessons. I hope some day we can get her the riding lessons she desires. In the meantime she was able to meet and ride a horse that is owned by a family friend.

Big News! Homeschool Co-op

Shannon gave the go ahead to try a local homeschool co-op that many of her friends attend. She starts two classes in September; Great Artists and Elementary Drama. This is a first for her in taking any class that wasn't dance related.

The co-op is secular and located on beautiful church grounds where the kids can play outside in nice weather when they are not in classes. Their is plenty of grass and woods to play in and explore. They even have a Pokemon club that meets during lunch whenever the kids want to attend.

Ian says he's not ready to take classes so he will play with friends (and make new ones) when they aren't in classes. I am hopeful that he will want to take classes there once he gets used to the new situation. He is really looking forward to the Pokemon club.

Welcome Piano!

The kids' grandparents are moving and we got their piano. So far the kids have just been playing around with it. They both seem to have the ability to make up music that is nice to the ears.
