Miss Teagan. Look how much Teagan has grown up. She is the last little princess in pink in the above photo.

We enjoyed our Welcome Back Picnic this Wednesday. A few families were not able to make it. My favorite reason for not coming came from Karen, Douglas and Thomas' mom. The bridge they were going to cross was washed out and they needed to wait another day for it to be rebuilt. I suggested that as homeschoolers, they should have quickly crafted a raft out of debris along the river and float Karen's new minivan across. She thought not. If you were not able to make it yesterday and you have a more adventurous excuse -- feel free to embelish, please post it in comments.

Robert, Stephanie, Christopher and Amy helped with the ooooh awwwws in Justanian's family presentation.

Mike held up signs displaying the acts against colonies.

Justin and Jill, the English Parliment.

If ever I'm in a war I hope to have Jack, Travis, Joseph and Benjamin on my side. We'll all hide together and pray for peace.

Annabelle and her mom act out the First Great Awakening.

General Rob lead his troops in the French and Indian War.
Twice his fearless troops were defeated and driven back by the Indians. With Travis and Jack on his team it is hard to imagine how they failed, but alas,even the fiercest warriors are defeated sometimes.

Griffan and Cy did a great job cleaning! Thank you!

Julie, Cy and Pam!

Art for Afghanistan

Our group is supporting a Marine Battalion in Afghanistan this year! We hope to mail 150 packages of treats for our soldiers. To raise postage money, we are making cards and hope to sell them. Ashlynn is demonstrating how to make marble art for our cards.


Annabelle's marble art matches the color of her shirt!



Douglas' mom, Karen, came up with the idea of selling cards to support our troops, prepared the supplies and helped us all morning. Thank you Karen!

Week 2!
