"For thus says the Lord: Lo, I will spread prosperity over her like a river, and the wealth of the nations like an overflowing torrent. As nurslings, you shall be carried in her arms, and fondled in her lap; As a mother comforts her son, so will I comfort you..." Isaiah 66:12-13

What we're studying this year.

Here are my curriculum choices for the year.  I suspect that they may be a bit ambitious for a baby year, but for now it's working and we can scale back later if necessary. We're already 8 weeks into the school year and I'm hoping to finish up the ninth week before the little one comes. This will let us take a nice break to adjust to having a little one around again. Of course, we'll still be trying to work do our extras - gymnastics/ballet, co-op enrichment day and nature study club. And probably some art and music, just to keep everyone happy.
