The First Official Day of Homeschooling

Although my elder son is well accomplished in his preschool lessons, today is the first official day. He'll progress quickly, I suspect - more quickly than I had planned. Even so, it's not up to my plans. He'll go at his own pace, and I just have to do the work set before me. I rejoice at all my blessings and my childrens' good fortune.

Also, I'm reading In Praise of Stay-at-home Moms, a delightful book for which I've waited for months at the library. I'm also exploring head covering during prayer.

Swimming Lessons

Today we begin swimming lessons. The entire month of July will be spent in this endeavor. First, my younger son begins, then in two weeks, my older son will commence with his third year of water safety. At such young ages, they are not leaning strokes and styles, but basics of safety. They won't have proper lessons until they are older. I highly value the skill of swimming, and prioritize these lessons every year.

Tonight we have a baseball game, and somehow have to fit in all of our other tasks during the day. I still have not purchased a new foot for my sewing machine. No rest for the weary around here! Thank heavens that we had a quiet holiday weekend.
