Sending prayers for you and your little ones!

Yay! I just got a copy too- glad to hear you love it!!

Oooh exciting!! Can't wait until next year so I can order Bigger Hearts too! Enjoy all your wonderful reading!

Praying the Lord will help you organize your day! This is a challenge for most of us- even people who are naturally organized!

I love this board too! I noticed that when I was reading posts on a different board, I'd questions my choices and feel a sense of discontentment. When I read posts on this board, I feel uplifted and encouraged. I can truly see the Lord working through this board!

Carrie gives some advice about using CTC for high school. I'm sure others with more experience (my highschooler goes to PS) will chime in with some great advice too! Welcome to HOD!

simply because Satan wants them to feel inadequate and wants to cause doubt in what they are doing.

It's nice to know that if we do English 2 this year and English 3 with Bigger, by the time we do Preparing we'll have English 4 scheduled for ...

I was planning to wait to use Bigger for Colton for 3rd grade since I've already planned out and purchased his 2nd grade curriculum. I've looked at the samples for R&S English 2 and English 3 online. If we use CLE LA 2 for 2nd grade, I *think* he'll be ready for English 3 when we start Bigger. (I th...

I could be wrong, but I think the catalog usually gets mailed out in April. I'm sure someone more experienced will chime in too

tjneary99,

Wow! Our box was delivered today! That was so fast :D I had planned to start LHTH in the summer but I don't think I can wait until then. We are going to be moving in 1-2 weeks (if our escrow EVER closes!). After we get settled, I think I'll get started. I'm so excited for Matthew and Anna- I think t...

Stephanie (mommy3), It sounds like Kayla is doing really well with HOD! That is very encouraging to me! Matthew LOVES music and I think he's really going to enjoy the fingerplays too, like Kayla did.
