More updates

Jathan looks like he will be able to graduate this December! Yeh! We are happy about that, because it saves quite a few buckaroos. He will be lacking one class for med school, but hopes to find an opportunity to take it in the spring. He has been able to run cross country this week, and is healing well. I haven't heard about how Bridget has done this week.

Kesse started classes yesterday, and we haven't heard yet how that is going. She has some science classes, I believe, which make her nervous, but are very good for her :).

Kyrie loves her Calculus class and her chemistry class, and while she like her biology, she thought the teacher was a bit monotone. She's looking forward to lab!

Kayren has risen to the "queen bee" status now that Kyrie is gone. I came home yesterday to the wonderful smell of Pine-Sol which means she cleaned the kitchen floor! Hoorah! It has been a very long time since it has been mopped. Kayren cleaned the whole thing, and it looked and smelled great!

Susan came over last night, and she, Aleya and Rebecca and I worked together to get the wallpaper up in Aleya's room. We finished in a little over an hour! It was great. Now, more painting, and some trim, and her room will be set. I'll try to get some pictures soon.

Lorien is getting used to high school work (lots more homework with spontaneous quizzes), and practices volleyball four days a week. She likes her classes and teaches, and the students too. We are trying to get more specifics out of her.

Aleya is getting used to her new schedule. We're testing the waters with her curriculum as I come off of the encouragement from A Well-Trained Mind. We are doing a lot more oral work, and dictation and such.

Well, I need to get back to work here at Faith. Oh yes - and the Cubbies! Aren't they doing well? They might actually go to the World Series this year! How exciting!

I have enjoyed _A Well-Trained Mind_ so far, although if one does everything in it, one would be dedicating every waking moment to teaching. But there is a lot of good food for thought in that book, I agree.
