By Grace Alone Every promise we can make Every prayer and step of faith Every difference we can make Is only by His grace. Every mountain we will climb Every ray of hope we shine Every blessing left behind Is only by His grace Grace alone Which God supplies Strength unknown He will provide Christ in us, our cornerstone We will go forth in grace alone. Every soul we long to reach Every heart we hope to teach Everywhere we share His peace Is only by His grace. Every loving word we say Every tear we wipe away Every sorrow turned to praise Is only by His grace. ©1998 Maranatha! Music.

Another week has gone by. I was rather quiet this week because I have really been trying to give the kids, and the house, the attention needed. I still get to read some posts in my reader on some days, but taking the time to write a post is not always possible. I've got a whole lot to share though. We'll see how I can find the balance in the coming weeks. School wise we've completed our subjects, FLL, Science (learned about food chains and food webs), Spelling, reading (where we learn about the origin of the song O.B.E.D.I.E.N.C.E), odd Math practice (since we are done with our Math book), Handwriting and Geography. And of course Joho and his favorite activity: Board games We also finished working on the project for the fair. This week I also have been busy searching curriculum, and when I say searching, I have to see samples, so that takes a lot of my time at the computer. I've got 3 carts full of stuff ready to be ordered. This week was also a gorgeous sunny warm week...
