Hi, everyone. I just wanted to say how excited we are to finally be starting again with HOD! My youngest 2 are 3 and 5 so they will begin with Little Hands. My 10 year old will begin Preparing, and I will have 2 high schoolers in the Geography manual. Cannot wait to get back to these wonderful books and lessons! I have missed HOD.

So excited with you! We did Beyond for my younger two this year and my oldest did Preparing. Next year my youngest is going to do Little Hearts (beefed - up, she is gifted and needs a little bit of a challenge but I want to separate my younger two), my middle will do Bigger, and then my oldest will do CTC.

I have already ordered Bigger and CTC but still need to order Little (I only recently decide to split them up). I now having such a hard time finishing up! I keep telling myself, only 9 more weeks, only 9 more weeks . Then a month off and we then start back up again with the new levels . And yes - all at the same time but half speed for a month or so for everyone - basically long enough for each child to comfortable with their level and to fall into a routine. I already anticipate that my son will be able to do many of boxes easily with Bigger because he has comes SO far in skill that he won't need much help. And my youngest is stellar at reading and comprehending so she will be able to do some of Little independently as well. I know for one though I can wait to do the Burgess books!

I am a little jealous

I am 9 months from my oldest going to a new guide, probably 6 months from my 2nd moving up and am still trying to decide if I should jump straight into LHFHG when my 3rd born is done with LHTH or wait until January or so to start her as she is a little young. My DH thinks she is ready to move up and ready for a challenge.

Enjoy your new guides!
