We have had such beautiful weather here this week. A couple of days of rain, but then lots of sunshine. The sun barely clears the tree tops across the street, it just skims along them all day until it reaches the other side. When sitting in the living room, we have to shut the blinds for part of the afternoon because it is so blindingly bright.

Friday, the kids and I went to Craig for our homeschool group. We stayed all afternoon and Larry joined us at the pizza place when he got off work. Then we had a CAP meeting in the evening and Mary and Noah walked down to the gym to roller skate. It was a beautiful day outside, so on the way I stopped and got some pictures of the kids outside showing their Michigan pride.

The older two kids are now back to homeschooling. I am really enjoying having them around. We have joined the correspondence school and will take a couple of classes through them and our core subjects with the same curriculum Noah is using. The nice thing is the correspondence school provides computers and a technology class. I'm excited about them being computer literate! We have also started an intense family altar time, using John Piper's Blazing Center curriculum. We have 5 days of discussion and then on Day 6 there is a DVD to watch. We are also using the Christmas cards we received as our prayer list. We pick one card that we received each day and pray, as a family, for that family. I am really looking forward to what God will do in and through the Goodale family this year.
