There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

AUGUST 26, 2013: BACK TO SCHOOL!

BACK TO SCHOOL
AUGUST 26, 2013

Though we technically started school on August 6th, we haven't all had our books and electronic devices and schedule in place.  It has been a work in process.  We finally all have our books, except for Rebecca, and are going full steam with our K12 school program with ARVA (Arkansas Virtual Academy) which is a charter school through the state of Arkansas but is taught at home by me, mom, the learning coach.   Here is our school room!




We turned the office into our school room and we have set up 6 stations for the 6 youngest kiddos.  Joseph and Benjamin do the bulk of their school day up at the university in a computer lab near his office.  It helps them stay focused and  helps us stay focused at home.  We put up a cute pirate display with everyone's name in our school that we call "Rich Academy!"  We have a calendar and cute stuff for Mason -- it is required to have lots of cute and fun stuff for kindergarten!!!
