PLAYROOM/BASEMENT/LIBRARY

Top picture shows where D's drum are and where he practices (in the basement), also our library, and part of kids playroom.

Middle picture shows my husband's man cave (the other half of the basement), also the treadmill (D and me like using it daily for our exercise).  

Bottom picture shows where we do most of our school work in the dining room.  The shelves hold our school curriculums and supplies, with lots of bins that hold more supplies for a variety of things.  


This is our first year we have started our school year later in the year.  It has been a pretty tough and busy year so far, but holding on to God's grace to move forward.  Glad to finally be back in the swing of things, praying for another wonderful year of learning and fun.  Below as the weeks go by I'll be adding our lessons for the year.
