Stennes here. We have been doing a lot of Latin lately because we have been observed so much by college students. I have done some Greek and I understand it a lot better after Mom and I read through the chapters together up to where I am. My garden is producing some cherry tomatoes and yellow pear tomatoes and the chickens are doing fine. This coming week I need to be more steady in math. I need to do more Greek, too. Latin is going well, but I would like to do more on my own.

Hi, it's The Girl. I have been reading in English and in Spanish. I did a little of Greek and Latin. My favorite is both of them. Ha ha! I hope Mommy will buy me a new math workbook so I can do more. I need to finish my reading books, practice piano and keep my room clean.

Branch now. I am holding a lizard now but I'll let him go in a minute. We're planning our trip to Minnesota in two weeks. I am excited. I haven't done much school this week. I need to do more and practice more violin. I have cherry tomatoes in my garden.

Hi, it's Josiah. Right now some of our cousins are here and we're playing Stratego. I have watermelons, cucumbers, canteloupe, cherry tomatoes, peppers, and squash in my garden (plants, anyway). I hope they produce a lot. This week in school I improved a lot in Latin and in Greek. Many people have come to observe us lately.

Tonya's turn now. We have been busy, busy, busy. The Patriotic Performances are finished, so that's a relief. We're getting excited about our upcoming vacation. Next week we're planning on doing as much school (push, push, push!) as we can, then do a major Spring Clean/Pack-a-Thon for our vacation. It would be lovely to wrap up "little" books and leave the house ready to move back in when we return. We're doing the best we can, I suppose, but sometimes life can be a bit overwhelming. As the kids said, we've had quite a few people in the home completing their observation hours. Kind of throws things off a bit. On the good side, though, we've been doing our Latin because that's what I teach when we're being observed. Anyhow, I'm looking forward to "lying low" next week and hope that we can get back into a good groove (at least for a week) before we throw things off again with the vacation.

Anders here. We bought a nice little used camper last week. I did a bit of Greek and Latin. There are large watermelon plants in my garden. Next week I need to do lots more school work.
