The year is winding down and everything is slow these days. Here is our wrap-up for the past few weeks: I have been dragging to try to finish up our Grammar curriclum.  We still have a 3 weeks of Tapestry to complete. I have been combining  some the weeks of unit 4 as they are closely related. We did fisnish the animal study from Elemental Science phew! Now Zach wants to move on to plants first before the human body.  Math is not a problem, as with MOTL you go at your own pace, no constraint of a work book (which is what I LOVE about this curriculum).  We've accomplished a lot this year: multiplications with more than 1 digits, addition and subtraction with remaining and regrouping, fraction (adding and subtracting with different denominators), telling time is down, problem solving is good; tackled some geometry basics, adding and subtracting decimals, counting money. Right now the boys are involved in a weekly soccer problem with our homeschool group...

The Father's Love  by Matt Redman I have heard so many songs Listened to a thousand tongues But there is one That sounds above them all. The Father's song The Father's love You sung it over me and for eternity It's written on my heart. CHORUS: Heaven's perfect melody The Creator's symphony You are singing over me, The Father's song Heaven's perfect mystery The king of love has sent for me And now you're singing over me The Father's song.

Hosanna  by paul Laroche Praise is rising, eyes are turning to You, we turn to You  Hope is stirring, hearts are yearning for You, we long for You  'Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day  In Your Pres- ence all our fears are washed away, washed away  CHORUS  Hosanna, hosanna  You are the God Who saves us, worthy of all our praises  Hosanna, hosanna  Come have Your way among us  We welcome You here, Lord Jesus  Hear the sound of hearts returning to You, we turn to You  In Your Kingdom broken lives are made new, You make us new  'Cause when we see You, we find strength to face the day  In Your Pres- ence all our fears are washed away, washed away  CHORUS  Hosanna, hosanna  You are the God Who saves us, worthy of all our praises  Hosanna, hosanna  Come have Your way among us  We welcome You here, Lord Jesus  '
