McKinley Jane and Grant Alan

It's been awhile since I've done an update so there's lots to update on!   We are nearing the finish line of Kindergarten and it's been a roller coaster of a year.  Even though they are both the same age I'm teaching two VERY different kiddos!  McKinley is a sponge that loves to soak up new information and learn new things.  She loves our school time and picks up on things and progresses very quickly.  Grant is.....a boy.  He loves action and movement and sitting down for school cuts into that!  We had some battles during the middle of the school year but I'm happy to say that we are ending the school year on a VERY happy note!  I tweaked some things with the schedule and with how I teach him and we've finally found a way that makes everyone very happy and gets us through our school day without tears or battles.  Despite the roller coaster of a year I still love homeschooling them.  I love the extra time I get to spend with them and...

While we are still living in Kansas City we decided we needed to take a trip to see St. Louis since it's probably not a place we'll go back to after we move.  We had beautiful weather and in two short days fit in the sculpture park, childrens museum and lots of swimming at the hotel!
