Here

We are still here.  This time of year has always been a struggle for me.  I am not one who does very well with the cold (and you all would laugh at what I think is cold!) and throw the gray, rainy days that seem to follow one after another, and well, it is all I can do to keep my spirits up.  We had a nice warm spell over the weekend and the sun finally came out.  I felt like a different person!  

We have been wrapping up some loose ends on our school work.  I have plans to post some of what the boys have been working on should the boys be okay with that.  We are now in the midst of a short Botany block for Blake and math for the other boys.  Although learning tends to overlap for them all.  We will head to the woods tomorrow afternoon seeing what we can find and learning more about trees in winter.  

I had to post that photo of Jakey at the board.  While it looks like he may be looking at the problem with a cocked head, in reality he was dancing.  Because that is my Jakey who is ALWAYS moving.  And I keep saying over and over, thank goodness he is home where he can dance while he does math!
