Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

Hi Therese - really enjoyed having you all over today. We've just found Tom's bag, though; so can you give us a call tomorrow? If need be, we'll meet you somewhere to give it back to you.
God bless,
Linda.
when does your school year begin? The beginning of the new calendar year?
I'm thinking of buying in the Story of the World books; they look very good. Will you blog on the books when you get them and say what you think?
Just introduced sewing for Iona-it's proving a bit of a challenge.
I use Linney's Latin and we do it twice a week and then Spanish twice a week and Sign on Weds
Have fun
God bless

Shelly,
The school year begins next week. We have 4 terms of 10 weeks each. The children get a two week holiday between each term and from the middle of december to the end of January we have a six week break.
Shell, once we start doing the story of the World I will let you know about it and what we think of it.
Praying for your homeschool adventure! It can be both fun and challenging, especially when you go back and realize how much us old folks missed out on or didn't pay attention to in regular school.
Oh how I admire the commitment of homeschooling your children! God bless your new school term. My grandchildren are all in parochial school at our church. If you know anything about the good ole USA, you know that they're taking God out of just about everything. We wanted them in an environment where they will learn about their faith. They have been in church since birth, and even at ages 5,7 and 9, they participate! Two are already doing readings and I'm very proud of them.
Enjoy reading your blog.
Abbey
