MFW: CtG and Gods Creation Completion

MFW: Creation to the Greek and God's Creation from A to Z Completion 
We have finished both curriculums and will be taking a break before we start on the next chapter.  Planning on starting in the beginning of July, 5th grade: Rome to the Reformation and 1st grade: Learning God's Story.  We've learned so much and have seen so much growth between all of us.  Excited to begin our new adventures soon.  


The kids have taken their final exams and have passed with flying colors.  



Recap of the year:  Found out mid year that K has dyslexia which makes lots of sense as far as how behind she is in reading.  Thankfully we have found a great curriculum that is made for children with dyslexia "All About Reading".  Seen such an improvement in her reading and her confidence.  Before she would start of strong and then decline and get frustrated.  Now she actually gets excited to read and everyday we sit together and she reads.  Love that we have found something that has helped her build that confidence in reading.  I believe with all my heart that she will catch up and excel in her reading this year.  For D I've found that "Hooked on Phonics" has helped him with his reading.  He actually has picked up reading pretty well and also likes to sit with me everyday to read his words and little books.  Such a blessing to see the kids get excited to read their books everyday and not fight to get them to read.  Happy to have finally found something that will work for the kids and getting them on the right track to reading.  


During our school year we put our house up for sale and I started packing everything up every chance I got.  Within 2 months I had everything packed and ready to place in storage.  Once we sold the house the kids and me moved in with my parents.  My husband was in Georgia in training.  When he completed his training he got his orders that he would be working in VA.  He found us a place to live in WV, a great home which we are renting.  We ended up moving in February from NC to WV (right before all this COVID-19 closed everything down).  It was hard moving away from my parents and everything familiar.  

Change is never easy, especially for the kids.  They still cry and say how much they miss NC.  It hasn't been easy, especially with not being able to explore and do the things we are used to due to COVID-19.  Thankfully they have the neighbor kids that they talk to, the kids parents won't let them come over to play in the yard because of the virus.  So the kids just talk between the fence and make up games so they can somewhat play together.  We love going to parks, museums,  libraries, and just explore everything we can.  Unfortuniatly for now we can't do those things for the time being.  Little by little things are opening up, still little skittish to go out especially if their will be a lot of people around.  New norm is wearing a mask everywhere we go.  Thankfully the kids don't mind wearing their masks and are really good about washing their hands and sanitizing everything.  I have a OCD and am constantly cleaning, so it's not much of a difference for me, I would say my cleaning has gotten more intense.  

Another thing we all miss is soccer.  K loves soccer and has been playing the sport since she was 4.  Loved watching her play and enjoy learning new tricks.  It's not the same thing to play one on one at home then getting to practice and play with your team.  Soccer has been canceled for the year.  Looking into seeing what other activities are open to enroll the kids in, like archery.  

I know their are people who are suffering way more than we are.  We are blessed and thank God everyday for everything we have.  So grateful to God for always taking care of us and helping us through everything.  Praying for this nation, president, for this virus to go away, and for the people.  The world has turned their back on God, which is so sad to see all this war between the people.  Praying things change especially for the sake of our kids.

Jesus said if you love me keep my commandments.

Love God and experience God.

These are our motto to live by.  

GOD BLESS!!
