Homeschooling
When my daughter Valerie Shepard was homeschooling three of her five children (the other two were preschool age), I asked her what she had discovered about the advantages of homeschooling. Here is her answer:
1. The children have more time: to read (aloud and silently); to learn responsibility by doing chores at home; to play (without adult direction) and use the imagination; to listen to and enjoy each other; to learn obedience.
2. Parents need not deprogram or reteach values the child hears for seven hours a day. They have the child's full attention at any time of the day and can give him full attention; he is not absorbing two different value systems daily.
3. Children learn to love each other more. They do not look down on one another in favor of their peers, or in wrong adulation of older children. This society teaches that among children "older is better." That's not right. Having them at home all day allows them to be children without having to "grow up" in the wrong ways.
4. They learn to be servants of one another. The family is a microcosm of the Body of Christ.
After I asked Val to write this I had the fun of trying it out myself. Val and Walt went to South Carolina (taking their nursing baby Colleen) and I had the other four for five (very busy!) days. There was a schedule of chores posted in the kitchen. Daily I reminded them (seldom more than once). The nine-, seven-, and five-year-olds took turns setting and clearing the table, emptying the dishwasher, folding laundry, sweeping the kitchen. Walter (the oldest) and Jim (not quite three} took out trash, the girls cleaned the bathroom. All but Jim made their beds.
School began at nine with Bible reading, singing, prayer, all four joining in. Jim sat on the floor and played while the others studied. Christiana finished her kindergarten work by ten or so, Walter and Elisabeth worked till nearly lunchtime.
Every afternoon there was Quiet Hour. This was a lifesaver for Granny. The three older children were expected to be in their rooms for an hour. They did not need to sleep, but they were to read or find something quiet to do alone. (Not once did we have any altercation about Quiet Hour. It had always been a part of their lives, and they liked it.) Jim and I lay down together, I read him a Beatrix Potter story, and he fell asleep.
Since we had no car, four of us walked to the grocery store every day, while Walter rode his bike. It was an interesting string of people, Elisabeth hugging (for example) five pounds of flour, Christiana batting things with a box of Saran Wrap, Jim lugging a bag of apples, Granny with a loaded brown bag.
We had poetry readings (Jim memorized with no effort at all) and singing. Everybody learned "Chattanooga Choo-Choo," by mistake, as it were--I meant for them to learn "Praise the Savior" but somehow that one didn't stick so easily, alas! Walter and Elisabeth practiced the piano and played vigorous duets for the rest of us. We made bread and organized drawers and closets and sorted clothes and toys for give-away and picked violets and had a marvelous time.
I should confess this--on the evening of the first day I wasn't sure I'd survive the week. When Val phoned I asked, "How do you do it?" "Mama, I just do what you taught me: don't think about all you have to do, just do the next thing!" I needed to be told what I have often told others, and it worked.
Homeschooling is demanding to say the least--but worthwhile. If you are considering trying it, you might want to get Mary Pride's The Big Book of Home Learning: The Complete Guide to Everything Educational for You and Your Child (Crossways).

I tried ...
I tried putting up more recent pictures of the kids, but for some reason my camera wouldn't connect with the computer and I wasn't able to. I will try to figure out what was wrong and put more up.
As for an update --
Matthew is getting very tall. He's still skinny though so his 2T pants still fit him in the waist, but it looks like he has high-waters on. haha! But the 3T pants are too big in the waist and a little too long. He soaking everything up like a sponge. We're working on a few Bible verse memorizations and he gets them within two days of sporatic practice. He's recently gotten on an "I want to obey you mom" kick. I'm loving it! He's still rough with Gabe, but we're working on that.
Gabe is growing as well! He's put on a bit of weight and has the gut to prove it. I'll have to post a picture of that sometime. Ben says it's so big it's a second entity. (He's still in the process of naming it.) Gabe's starting to say more words like, Bible "baba", 'dada', 'mama', 'issss' drink (I haven't figured out exactly how he got isss from drink. I think it might be because Matthew would ask for ice, so maybe that's what he thinks water is.) He also says, 'mii' milk, 'dauu' dog, 'caaaa' cat and some others. He's getting very good at animal sounds as well. He does have a temper though. Whenever he gets mad he'll hit whatever is in close proximity to him, even if it's the air. Not a lot has helped with that. He plays with Matthew a lot better! I'm SOOOO happy!
I'm feeling well. I didn't really have any morning sickness this pregnancy, yeah! I did have very strong leanings on what foods to and not to eat. A few times I did get sick, but it was maybe a handful -- which I'm so thankful for because it would be so hard with working! I'm now fourteen weeks along and waiting anxiously to do the Drain-O test. :) hehe Work has been good. Very slow at times, but usually I can find stuff to keep me busy. I'm slowly building a clientelle, which is what I need. So, Lord-willing, I'll get busier within the next month or two. The kids do very very well at the Putz's. Holly has been so awesome watching them while I work! I don't know what we'd do without them!!!!
Ben has been busy, busy, busy at work. He goes to school early and gets home around 5:45pm, eats, works some more, plays with the kids, works some more, goes to bed. The time has been going by pretty quickly though and he's been doing very well in school! He's studying Aquinas right now and is enjoying it very much. Interesting stuff.
My mom's house is *Lord-willing* going to close on the 24th of November! So, they'll be up here the beginning of December! I'm so excited to have them close by!
Alright, that's all the time I have tonight. Hopefully I'll get pictures up soon -- if I can get my camera to cooperate.
Until next time ................

My Little Monkeys
They had a blast climbing up on the shelves -- that is, until Gabe fell off the top face first. The top shelf has been removed permenantly.

A Devotion by Spurgeon
I thought this was particularily good this morning! God has never put me into a trial and left me alone -- He's helped me get through whatever it was; however long the trial. We will always have ups and downs in our lives, that's reality. Here's an awesome reminder, "He who has been with us through six trials, will not forsake us in the seventh."
"And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul."--1 Samuel 27:1
The thought of David's heart at this time was a false thought, because he certainly had no ground for thinking that God's anointing him by Samuel was intended to be left as an empty unmeaning act. On no one occasion had the Lord deserted His servant; he had been placed in perilous positions very often, but not one instance had occurred in which divine interposition had not delivered him. The trials to which he had been exposed had been varied; they had not assumed one form only, but many--yet in every case He who sent the trial had also graciously ordained a way of escape. David could not put his finger upon any entry in his diary, and say of it, "Here is evidence that the Lord will forsake me," for the entire tenor of his past life proved the very reverse. He should have argued from what God had done for him, that God would be his defender still.
But is it not just in the same way that we doubt God's help? Is it not mistrust without a cause? Have we ever had the shadow of a reason to doubt our Father's goodness? Have not His lovingkindnesses been marvellous? Has He once failed to justify our trust? Ah, no! our God has not left us at any time.
We have had dark nights, but the star of love has shone forth amid the blackness; we have been in stern conflicts, but over our head He has held aloft the shield of our defence. We have gone through many trials, but never to our detriment, always to our advantage; and the conclusion from our past experience is, that He who has been with us in six troubles, will not forsake us in the seventh. What we have known of our faithful God, proves that He will keep us to the end. Let us not, then, reason contrary to evidence. How can we ever be so ungenerous as to doubt our God? Lord, throw down the Jezebel of our unbelief, and let the dogs devour it.

Con--cen---trate!!!
They usually play very well together in the sand box. Unless they start throwing sand at eachother (which happened yesterday.) 
Gotta Love Him
He's so happy now (most of the time). This is a good shot to see his teeth. Still only 6 despite his chewing on EVERYTHING! You'd think they'd pop up sometime soon -- he's been teething for a while now.
YO HO YO HO A Pirate's Life for Me
This picture reminds me of the ride 'Pirates of the Caribbean' at DisneyLand, CA where the pirates stole all the alcohol from some town and were sitting on a bridge drinking and singing.
Gabe got into the wine....
He tried opening the bottle - then drinking it with the lid still on. Needless to say both attempts ended in failure.
Ovaltine Popsicle
Matt and Gabe's favorite summer activity. We had a pretty hot summer, so they really enjoyed their popsicles!
10.06.2006
Staying Clean
Matthew really didn't want to wear a bib so Grandpa Liebi and dad joined in on the fun. It was really funny!

Art Fair
Matthew, Gabe and I went to an art fair today with the Lauderdales. It was fun ... I just wish I could've looked at the pictures more -- it was really crowded and hard to move the wagon around in the crowd to get to the exhibits. I still had fun.
