All Kinds of Minds

Well, I think I am going to use this blog to describe the struggles and joys we have homeschooling a son with learning differences. There are so many ups and downs and I am sure it will help me to get this all out. This has affected our whole family! I know we will get through this as I can do all things through Christ.
Our sweet son is 8 years old. At this point we know that he has Dyslexia and Dysgraphia. He is making great strides, but it is a slow process. I keep waiting for a quick fix or an a ha moment so I will know exactly how to teach him, but I know that will not be coming. We will keep on working until we get it right. Or at least on the right track. Anyway, more will come this week as I get some extra time (what is that?)
S-

We can't just do Cub Scouts


Well, we are just crazy around here.... Our sweet daughter has decided that she wants to be a Brownie. So far all she has asked is, "When can I sell cookies?" So guess who is our cookie coordinator? You guessed it! Me!
Anyway, I am sure she will have a great time in scouts. We bought her uniform three days after her first meeting. She has been going to Cub Scout meetings for two years, so she knew there was a uniform involved in this and she wanted the full deal. (including that beanie!)
Isn't she precious!

Our New Puppy Pics
Well we have had a crazy couple of weeks, but I am back at the computer. I don't know who is cuter in this picture! My sweet son or our new puppy! His name is Tiger (the dog, not my son) and he is a great dog! If we can teach him to use the restroom outside he will be a perfect dog. He is a three and a half month old Sheltie and already weighs 15 pounds! He may be on the large side....
