I don't know if we count. We will probably be starting around December. By then you ladies will have it all figured out and can tell me what to do :D :D

I'm starting Bigger on Monday with my 8yod who will be 9 in October. We'll be doing it 'pretty much' as written, though we won't be using R&S for English. I am going to continue with the state study and names of Jesus study that we started last year, though, but I haven't decided yet how to schedule that in.

My dd8 and I will start unit 2 next week. We had a wonderful first week (although we spread it out over two weeks) with Bigger! :D I used Bigger with my boys a few years ago so I know my sweet little girl will enjoy it as well. :)

My 9 year old son will be doing Biggers. I haven't set a for sure start date yet but we may start back next Monday. I'm really looking forward to it! I've wanted to do Biggers for two years and now we are finally getting the opportunity.

We'll be doing it again this year. My son did it for 4th grade and now my daughter will do it for 3rd grade. I love doing Bigger and am looking forward to starting again at the end of the month.

We have 5 weeks left of Bigger to do with Riley, so we'll start the year with BHFHG and finish it out with PHFHG. :D It is hard to tell who is more excited about Bigger Hearts - me, because I am glad to return to it and finish it out seeing Riley having grown in so many ways throughout it; Riley - because he has loved BHFHG so much, all of it really, but especially the book selections and the hands-on projects/experiments; or Wyatt - because I told him when we finish I'll let him have the books from it to read on his own for fun. :lol: Wyatt has been asking for them for awhile, but I told him they were Riley's special books and he'd need to wait until we were done. Riley just beamed. :D Wyatt had another expression. :wink: Everyone is excited for the Bigger Hearts finale here! I hope you all have as great of a year with BHFHG (or 1 1/2 years ) as we did! :D Maybe your kiddos will be like my Wyatt in a few years, and be begging to reread the books just for fun - isn't that neat? I love that about living books. Rereading is a treat. :D They're worth owning.

My daughter just finished Little Hearts for His Glory in July and will be starting Bigger Hearts for His Glory in September. We cannot wait to get started! One thing that I am determined to do differently this year is follow the guide as it is written and not rush through or omit scheduled activities, even though I may be feeling like we are behind. We missed a lot of fun activities from doing that in the past. I want this year to be a breath of fresh air for our family. No more rushing, but instead, more enjoying!! :D

We will be starting Bigger on 8/15, at least that's my plan! Still trying to get a couple of non-school things in place. Looking forward to this year, except for writing - actually putting pen to paper, my ds hates handwriting - so we will see. There may be some bribery going on here because I am aiming for joy in this journey :mrgreen:
