Enjoyed learning more about you by reading the facts and your answers to the questions! Y'know, I don't think I've ever had Leg of Lamb... I've had lamb chops though - which I suppose is pretty similar.

Thanks so much! What a great way to get to know you better. I like watching my children learn and discover as well. It really is a huge blessing to be a part of it. And, the fall is a favorite of mine too. Laughter gets me in trouble though. I tend to laugh too easily and too much...oh, that wasn't meant to be funny, foot in mouth...kind of stuff. Gonna have to ponder your questions.

When it comes to teaching writing to the boys I was not sure which way to go, as I would not exactly consider myself a great writer. Then came along Writing and Rhetoric from Classical Academic Press. I heard about it when the second book in a series of twelve just released, and I was immediately intrigued. You see I homeschool classically, and writing is an integral part of it. Classical Academic Press puts out products geared towards classical homeschooling, so there you had  the first common ground.

I found what...
