My Son is Coming Home!
I am so excited! My Seth is coming home tomorrow from his month-in-a-half stay in Manitoba, Canada. He’s been staying with his aunt and uncle and working. He bought himself a camera before he went so I’ll try to post some of the highlights of his trip shortly. Audrey was pretty excited when I told her Seth would be here in 2 nights. “Seth likes to tickle me,” she said, and I guess she must like that pretty much because she was sure happy to hear about his return.

Sewing Unit Study – Day 2
Day 2 of our unit study was started off with a short children’s book. (My daughter does not seem to be interested in history but she really liked this short & colorful children’s book.) If you feel the history segment of this lesson is too short, you can of course, read a chapter book about Betsy Ross instead of the short children’s book suggested. History & Writing Read: Betsy Ross – written and illustrated by Alexandra Wallner Make 5 pointed star from instructions in back of book and place in sewing notebook (this can be as simple as a composition book or a 3-ring binder that you add your own…
