We have joined with friends to plant, weed, and harvest a big, beautiful, green garden.

Progress Report
(Cold mornings call for a little sustenance of the warmifying sort, wouldn't you agree?)
It's been a long week! Getting back into the rhythm of math has been esp. difficult. Both Tof and Minda have struggled with remembering functions, processes and the manner of execution in Pre-Calc. We have worked as late as 8:30 a couple nights to get a problem set finished. You should see their faces, though, when they get a problem right without asking me for steps or help of any kind! Joy unspeakable, and full of glory!
Cassia's job is going well. She is being stretched, but loves her co-workers and meeting new people everyday. She brings home so many stories to relate at the end of each day. She is so thankful for Sabbath when it comes. The meaning of it has become very poignant ~ a chance to be re-created, to rest from labors.
They are all so ... so ... grown up ~ When did that happen?

As for the other subjects... Physics is going fantastic! They are understanding and we have even done an experiment. Tof wrote at the end of his Lab Report ~ "This was fun. I didn't want to finish!" :o) Poetry has been a bit of a let down. I've decided I'm definitely NOT a J Weston Walsch fan. What a boring, incomprehensive book. Oh well. The kids are enjoying writing. Demolishing Strongholds has been FABU! As was the Logic in 100 minutes. I'll be researching today to see if I can find some ways to implement much of what Hans and Nathaniel taught. SAT will be Nov. 1. We are continuing to practice and review for that. Vocab bridges is wonderful as well as Wordly Wise. We have our first two tests on Tues. One in Calc. I think I can safely say that the kids would appreciate your prayers. :o)

What do these things have in common?
(click on any photo to be taken to web page)
These are all places that Cassia has either interviewed with or been called for an interview. Time and again she has known the favor of God. Every place she went she has been told how they appreciate her kind ways and thoughtfulness. She has left each interview feeling edified and appreciated. Everyone wanted to employee her!!! It's been a difficult process for her as these are all places she would have liked to have been employeed, but relying on parents and their schedules is a bit of an added challenge.
Stop in and see her!

We prayed that God would not only give her a peace, but an excitement about wherever He directed her.
The ideal was full time, close to Dad's office, as close to his schedule as possible, and a good wage, where she wouldn't have to work Sundays and Mondays. Tall order - I know! This week she called one of the places back to tell them she would accept the position they offered her from 9AM - 4:30PM, Tuesday - Saturday, at a location 2 blocks from J's office. (It just happens to be one of her Dad's favorite locations for foodage.)
As of Tuesday, August 19th, Cassia will be greeting you, seating you, and cleaning up after you at The Garage!!!
Stop in and see her!
