Life here has been a series of ups and downs. From home schooling challenges, and doctors appts.to work and lots of company. Not necessarily in any order. In home school we make progress, we digress, we take a break and then we start fresh. But over all I would say the kids are doing well. We don't always stick the books but they can read, write and and do math. Well at least when the are so inclined.... A while back I had parent teacher conferences for M, apparently she is absorbing home school too because they were surprised at how far ahead she is in some things. They were really surprised when I told them how well she does math. I am also told she is 5 going on 15 since we have had major wardrobe discussions in the morning. Last month it rained almost every single day and it is a challenge to get dressed and organized for a kid who isn't used to that. Last winter we went 9 months with NO rain. But Thank G-d because at least we are getting the rain we need. All the kids prefer math to reading to writing, they are NOT my kids! But all have decent grasp on reading too.
In my world, when I am not home schooling I am trying to keep up with work. I love both projects that I work on and work with great people. I am happy to say that the artist I have been working with has her site up and if you go to www.ellenmillerbraun.com you can check it out.
D has started physical therapy on his back and we are most excited. We are seeing lots of improvement and things are looking up.
In other news, we are looking forward to a return trip from Grammy and Grandpa J and we are gearing up for Purim and Pesach. Soon the twins will be 6 and that is just beyond amazing! We are also looking to move after nearly 4 years in Beitar. We will see how that goes......
I am sure there was more to add, but it will have to wait.
All the best,
The J 5
