Gracie girl thinks she is big stuff when she is propped up to sit. Well, she had her Dr.'s appointment and weighed 12 lbs 4 oz. She is just gonna be a tiny little thing. She is a little behind on some things but she was also 5 weeks early. She got three of her shots and ran a low grade fever. Yesterday and today she is fighting a bug. I have it too but not full force yet. You know when you hurt so much even your hairs on your head hurt? That is what I am starting to feel like. Jim was an angel today and helped me so much this morning. I am so incredibly blessed to have him.
The other three are good. Kiarrah has been up to her usual antics. She managed to get her hands on some scissors again and cut her hair. It is such a mess. We had a babysitter Saturday night so that we could go to a dinner for married couples at our Pastor's house. She was great with the kids and did Kiarrahs hair into a beautiful little style that will work until her hair grows in some more.
We are trying to figure out what to do with her next school year. We have a close friend that has offered to homeschool her with her child. She is a wonderful woman of God and has the patience on a Saint. She also truly "gets" Kiarrah. Not many people do but Kiarrah listens to her also. We are going to do some research on it and check on books and such. She wants to use the Abeka program with her. Any of you have experience with it?
What is really nice about this option is that they can work at their own pace and advance if need be. Please keep this in prayer along with us. I just feel if I send Ki to the public school it is going to be hell. She will eat them alive and become the class bully/trouble maker. The FASD has affected her so much and I am seeing it more and more.

Although we haven't officially started home schooling yet, I have heard awesome things about Abeka from people who use it...and love it. My sister has been home schooling for years and highly recommends it, as do several friends. It's on my list for when I start.
I will certainly pray! The Abeka program is one that my sister-in law used and another friend of mine. It's spendy, but they say it is the best one out there!
How nice that you have someone who cares for your daughter so much and wants to help with homeschooling her! I think that Kiarrah and my Anna are a lot alike. :-)
I don't have any direct experience with the Abeka program but it sounds like a good match if it allows her to work at her own pace. Reteaching and repetition are important with FASD so you might want to check to make sure that program does that. Let me know how it goes! ~Kari
Actually, we use ABeka for several of our subjects in our Lutheran school - I am a huge fan. Top notch choice in my opinion,
I just love to see the munchie munch sitting up and smiling! Are the germs out of your house yet?
Ps. tag you're it.. go check out my site to see what's up.

And BTW Sister, I would love to meet you some time! We are sisters in Christ and therefore I celebrate you this week!!
