I can’t believe it’s been over a year (okay maybe closer to a year and a half) since I’ve last posted on here. A lot has happened since my last post. We are now a family of five with little Hailey! Lily has hair! (I just went back and looked at some pictures from the last post and realized how much the Peyton and Lily have changed). Peyton will be starting kindergarten!
It’s official, Josh and I have made the decision to continue with homeschooling past the preschool years. We took the plunge and ordered Peyton’s kindergarten curriculum, which should be arriving at the end of the week. After much researching, I decided to go with Sonlight Core K for Language Arts, History/Geography, Bible, Art, and Science; Singapore K for Math; A Reason for Handwriting for….you guessed it, Handwriting; we will continue using Hooked on Phonics (Peyton is finishing up Kindergarten Level 1 and will be soon starting Kindergarten Level 2); Gymnastics for P.E; Jumpstart for computer skills and to also reinforce academics; and last but not least we will be using God Made Kindermusic for Music. We’ve also decided that since we are homeschooling, we might as well take full advantage of it, so Peyton will be starting kindergarten if not this week, then next week (we are throwing out the ingrained “school calendar” from the system which says that you move up in September), and we are also going to be homeschooling year round so there won’t be any time constraints.
As for Lily, we will continue to learn through play and will also continue to use Sonlight 3/4 Core, we will begin Hooked on Phonics Preschool Level 1, and Jumpstart. Lily has also been enrolled into Pottytraining 101 and has been doing very well in it (I must say it is much easier pottytraining the second time around, guess I learned alot from Peyton), and she will get some P.E. by participating in the unstructured playtime at Gymnastics once a week (she will actually begin gymnastics in the fall).
Now about Hailey…she’ll just work on being a happy baby 
Finally, it’s time for one of the most important things that you do at the beginning of a new “school year”…the picture!
