Branch - We had the 4-H banquet last night, and we all received our awards and certificates of participation. I'm studying Morse Code for the fun of it. My foot (stitches) is healing nicely, and Mo'M will pull out the stitches on Monday. My first soccer practice was yesterday, but I missed it because of the 4-H banquet.
Journey - I finished one of my Spanish Bible workbooks. I'm working on perimeter and area in math. I haven't done First Form Latin this week, but I did Henle. I need to catch up on my Greek. Mommy, Abigail, Ms. Ronda, and I are starting a girls' only club during our Seekers lunch break. We'll be working on girl badges in the Keepers book, reading through Verses of Virtue, Raising Maidens of Virtue, and other books before we get our assignments for the upcoming week. We have a special bag that holds our books, our special snacks, and a candle/pretty things that we'll use while we eat lunch and study together.
Mo'M - Busy week (surprise!!). We're trying to stay as steady as possible in all the craziness of our lives. ChubChub is still trying to read in English. AAAAAHHH! He'll get it someday. The weather is cooler, which is nice. Paul says we'll start working on winter gardens soon. I'm feeling mighty lazy these days, and a pretty afternoon throws me off. Do I hear a swing calling my name? "Come outside and sit, Mo'M. Schoolwork? What's that? Housework? Don'teventhinkaboutit." Rascally weather.

Mrs. Ronda-
The weather has cooled off a little with a promise of fall! Our last few mornings have been in the high 60's. What kind of temps are you having in Minnesota?
We had the 4H forestry group over for practice last Tuesday. Last Thursday they competed in Cuthbert. I hear that the Sr and Jr team won 1st place. Congratulations!
Last night we had Mom Time at our house. It was nice to visit with like-minded mamas!! Meg Herring drove over from Calvary, Ga. We had a new homeschooling mama, Theresa Holznecht from Colquitt. We need to keep her in our prayers as she begins this journey as a single mom with two young sons. Last, but not least, we had the veteran mamas (they deserve medals!), Tonya and Teresa!
Abigail-
As always, it's been another busy week!(Not as if last week was any slower!) Last Thursday was the
4-H Forestry Competition. In the Junior division, we placed 1st as a team and individually. As usual
Anders got first, Jacob got second and Branch, Journey, and I tied for 3rd.
In school we're nearly done with the "Scarlet Pimpernel". What a book! Here at home, it's been such nice weather. I actually wore a jacket this morning and needed it!
Well, I've got to go do some research for our essay on the similarities or differences between the crusades and modern Christianity.
See ya'll.
John Paul-
Hey, guess what? I got a rifle that has interchangible barrels!. One is a 22, another is a 12 gauge and the last one 243. I'm about to learn how to squirrel hunt with it.
Bye-Bye

You're such a slacker, Tonya! Ha. Right. Dad told me to tell you that your mind likely slide down in the cushions on the couch...up here...and you should come back to get it. He is such a nice guy and full of good ideas too. We have officially started school. Wilson is working opening up beet harvest, and therefore he hasn't actually started school yet. The girls are working on "Monday Class Everyday At Least Until We Get Somewhat Caught Up." Notice I ended with a preposition; after all, I am Minnesotan. I'll let them come and write a bit later.
