Our first week!

Our first week of homeschooling went better than I expected!  The first few days were an adjustment on everyone's end.  The girls had to get used to seeing each other all day, every day...and so did I! Yes, they fought more.  And yes, I yelled more.  But in the end, they played more, and loved each other more, and I played with them, and I loved them more.  :)

The neat thing about spending this much time together is that I am beginning to really KNOW my girls.  Of course, I am their mother and I already KNOW them, if anyone knows them!  But those extra few hours of doing school together, making things together, playing games together... I can't explain it, but now I know {sometimes} what Elizabeth is going to say even before she says it.  It's such a great feeling.  I am so thankful to the Lord for leading me down this path.  It is an out-of-the-box path.  It is HARD.  I am exhausted beyond words by end of the day.  But I know this huge investment I am making in them, however long this homeschooling may last, will be worth it in the end!  :)  More pics to come.
