#2

Ok, so far I only have one on my NY resolution list which is to finish the one year bible and journal for Abigail. I have to say, I am working on it at my own timing. I do what I can is what I am trying to say. Which I think is ok. I am starting BSF on Wednesday mornings next week. It's gonna get busy. With 3 kids under 4, I am doing my best with every minute I have which includes resting and reflecting. Anyway, I have #2 for my list now. Here we go

2010 resolutions
1. one year bible
2. keep track of homelearning (it's really homeschooling but i have come to dislike that term in the past... day) budget, material taught, material used, and kids progress.....
