To be honest, Life got so busy, I actually forgot I even had a blog lol! This year we started off in Burlington, Kentucky. I really enjoyed living in the area, we were close to our church, close to shopping, dining and well... people. After taking a look at our finances and reevaluating what our goals were, we decided to begin looking at alternative housing choices. During this process, I mentioned paying my father rent to live in his basement, not really thinking he would consider it.... I was wrong :)! So after discussions with the hubby, at the end of October we packed the family up, and moved back to Dry Ridge, Kentucky. BEAUTIFUL area! NOT a lot of shopping, dining or well.....people. Our church is now like 30+ miles away and to top it off we joined a homeschool co-op in guess where? That's right, Burlington! We love living on my parent's farm. It is so peaceful here and the scenery is just beautiful, and we are truly grateful for the love and hospitality that Grandpa and Grandma Irvin have shown us.
So you heard me mention we joined a co-op this year, well actually this semester. Those of you who know me might say "wuh? I thought you said co-ops weren't for you." Well, you are right I did say that. But God weighed it on my heart this past holiday season and I found one that I really love and care for very much. The kids are really enjoying and it has been such a blessing to be a part of.
Tyler my oldest now has a blog http://ty-fyter.blogspot.com/ of which I am very proud of him for taking on that endeavor. He is also still very involved with forword, his youth program at our church and this year Tori has joined him there. Tyler joined a new discipleship group of young men called 'Fight Club' which is very good for him and he is now playing D&D with a good group of fellow Christian young men. This is a great outlet for his creative mind, and boy does he get into it! Tyler is also being more healthy and active thanks to Zija!
Tori is now attending forward youth at Grace Fellowship and enjoying that every bit as much as her brother does. She has made lots of new friends this year and is truly developing in to one very unique young lady. She is also enjoying her co-op classes, especially sign language with Michelle! It is neat to watch her interest in signing and it makes watching 'Switched at Birth' on ABC Family with her even more enjoyable. She is now looking into starting dance lessons. (Also in the Burlington area lol).
Timothy is still my little man. He is as rambunctious as always, looking for the next new and interesting thing to get his hands on. He is taking a Lego Robotics class in co-op where they get to build little robots, then learn how to program them to do different things. This is right up his alley and he is enjoying it thoroughly. He is making new friends and branching out. Can't wait to see what new interests develop within him.
So.....Schooling Jen, when are you going to talk about your schooling? Well stay tuned and my next post (hopefully tomorrow) will update you on all our curriculum choices, changes and journeys we have had this year! Thanks
Jen
