College Visit #1 - Truett McConnell University

 How are we here already? Kayla is dual-enrolling 2 classes with Truett McConnell University this semester, so we thought it would be a good idea to take her there for a visit.  Since she is planning on trying to max out the 30 hours of classes that the state of Georgia will pay for her, we thought it would be good to start thinking about where she wants to go so we can choose the classes wisely.   

The campus was small, but beautiful.  I think she liked it, but we'll see where the Lord ends up calling her to!

 

Soccer Season has Begun!

 Here we go again! Kayla is coaching her own team of 1st and 2nd graders this year.  She's absolutely loving it.

Brooke is the only one we still have playing on a team. 

Macy is an assistant coach on her team.

Kayla started her first job as a referee on Saturdays for all of the soccer games.  She's there from 7:30am to about 6:00 every Saturday.  She is always tired, hungry, dirty, and often sunburnt when she comes home, but she is loving it.

 

First Day of School 2021

 The 2021-2022 school year has begun.

 Brooke - 6th grade

Macy - 9th grade

Kayla - 11th grade (and dual-enrolling 2 college classes)

I'm starting my 8th year teaching 3rd grade, my 12th year homeschooling with our hybrid model, and my 18th year teaching overall. 

Having a driver this year is going to be great.  Since I don't teach until 10:30 she will be taking her sisters to school and I get to go in a little later.

Time sure does fly fast, especially once they hit high school, and I wouldn't change a thing about our choice of a hybrid education with The King's Academy. 

 

Summer Break Comes to an End

 School starts tomorrow - on my birthday- and we are squeezing in as much as we can these days. The pool is always a great option for Georgia summers. 

Lazy days of summer are extra lazy for us sometimes.

Our local deer family keeps growing larger. As long as they keep their distance from the plants around my house, I'm more than happy for them to pay us a little visit.

Bubble tea is always a favorite.

We introduced the girls to Jeni's Ice-Cream while celebrating my birthday a little early.

 Ready or not, summer break is over, and we are headed into another school year.
