Homeschool Begins

Well, we did start homeschooling on August 26th. We are doing it on Teusdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. We also have a friend from church homeschooling with us--Ashton. It has been fun. The first week we talked about God's creation and went through the seven days of creation. Today we began the actual unit studies. This week we will be learning about the sun. Lindy has been doing school too:) She actually already knows everything we are reviewing. She knows how to count to 30, she knows all of her colors, she knows her shapes, she knows the days of the week and all the months. So it is quite funny when we say the ABCs or do our counting, she just says it right along with us. I am very thankful for this time to spend with them and get to teach them not only letters and numbers, but teach them that God is the center of it all and that is the most important lesson I can teach them. With God's help we will continue on this journey:)

Visit from Texas Family

Bradley's birth father, Garret, came in town for a visit at the end of August. It was such a joy meeting him. He is in the US Airforce and lives in Texas. When we told Bradley that Garret was coming to visit, Bradley asked if he was a kid? Then Bradley asked if he would bring him any toys:) It is hard to put into words the joy we feel being able to share Bradley's love with his birth family. We are blessed to know and keep in contact with immediate and extended family. I know this will be extra special for Bradley as he grows up and feels all the love from all of his family. It was a quick visit, but we were able to get a good idea of what Bradley will probably look like when he grows up. Garret is very handsome and so very kind. Garret's mom has written Bradley on several occassions and told us about how Garret has such a kind heart and we were able to see that kind heartedness in just a couple of days time. We look forward to meeting all of the Grimes' family very soon.
