As of late I have not been taking photos as much as I normally do.

It really hasn’t even been on purpose either way – but I am grateful for the photos I do have!

Our school days are full, enjoyable, and my all time favorite kind of day!

There is SO much I could say about the blessings of still having four in school at my age…it is just the sweetest season!!

I have been setting up “Creative Corners” in places here at Twin Oaks.

If you put out the invitation, they will come!

Since our bird feeder just got put back up on the deck, I set out an invitation to draw birds.

All four of my crew enjoyed this corner, but the two littles literally played here for an entire afternoon!

Tate and Eliza really love all things paper and pens!

We have been running with a unit on fall, leaves and pumpkins the last couple of weeks.

I LOVE to gather library books.

Books are such a wonderful way to fill our time!!

We also really enjoy crafts here at Twin Oaks.

This salt painting was super fun.

I only know that because I made one too!

Worship comes first in our school day.

So. So. Good.

Chad is really growing in his ability to play the guitar, and is even starting to play on the worship team at church.

This was how school was going on Monday.

They were learning, and we were enjoying our time…..

….I had an idea though – and soon our read aloud location looked like this!

We read lots of books in there with flashlights!

Pretty soon there was an expansion project going on, and they played in that fort ALL day.

These are the best of the days!!

I will admit I was a little beside myself this summer when I would think about having a high schooler to teach again.

Silly me!

It has been SO good.

Chad is a driven, purposeful, self-taught student.

He is doing very well with his studies this year!!

Looking forward to the pace that winter, snow and ice bring…..because there are no snow days here at Moschel Academy!

We have lots of goals for our school year this year, and the Lord is blessing the burdens He has given Blake and I!

Grateful, grateful for SO much!!!
