Life with the Normans: August 2015

So...if you don't want to hear all about how much I love homeschooling and how thankful I am that we get to do it, you may want to skip reading this blog! When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be a teacher and after teaching in the classroom, it really was not what I pictured. I so greatly admire all my teacher friends in the classroom and their job is so so important, and one day if God calls me back to it I will be right there with them. However, for today I am SO thankful that God has allowed me to stay home with my girls and be their first teacher. Teaching Sarah Anne is exactly how I pictured teaching. We get to learn, do fun things, have plenty of time to do whatever we want, can explore topics that would not be covered in a classroom, and have the time to dwell on topics for as long as necessary. Sarah Anne is of course soaking everything up and is learning so well. I truly was not worried about her, but I am happy to report that Becca is learning along with her! So the Norman school is a success so far. I know we will hit bumps in the road and things won't always be great, but so far we are LOVING it. Here are a few pictures of our school days....
