We are home and in full swing of school again. After the surgery, Christmas and vacation it's actually nice to be home and doing school. After two full days of normalcy I realize just how much we missed our normal life. Vacation was a blast. We were in Fifield, Wisconsin for 7 days. We endured a January rain storm and a few inches of snow, relaxed, read, ice fished, went sledding, almost broke a finger, almost broke a knee cap, visited with relatives, I quilted and read tons of magazines. Taste of Home, Quick Cooking, Home Education Magazine, Quick Quilts, Backwoods Home and Countryside. I read the original Boxcar Children to the kids, which they loved, all of them. The sentence structure is a little choppy, but still readable. However, it is well suited for a 3rd grade reader. Grace mentioned wanting to pick up a couple more from the library to read herself. Check out the following generic vacation pics.
Wild Ridge Cabin - where we stayed and enjoyed the wood burning fireplace everyday. The kids loved the loft and the great sledding hills.
