A new baby and a new school year

It's been a long time since I posted anything, this is the first since the birth of our fifth child who is now five and a half month old.

Our homeschooling life defiantly changed with having another baby in the house but It was not as hard as I thought it would be. What I mean when I say "not as hard" is I was so tired while I was pregnant that I found it difficult to accomplish just about anything ,once the baby was born I took a couple of weeks off and then was very eager to start a new school year( and do a little catch up :). Our sweet little baby boy is very fussy and needs to be in mommy's arms most of the day which makes doing anything with my hands almost impossible ( house work has suffered the most) but hasn't really impacted our school day. I am very well rested because he sleeps like a dream at night and I can still be teacher for the other children while holding a fussy baby during the day. Sure it would be nice if he had naps during the day and was happy to play a little while why we did school work but he doesn't so we have had to adapt, no big deal. It is so important to my husband and I to be educating our children at home that we will do anything to overcome and enjoy this precious time with our children. This is a gift and we are thankful.
