Is that your cow, Tracy? Are you out on a farm? I've moved since I was here last, and my back yard is literally a glacier wilderness. I have to look out the window for bears when I go to work because one was right outside my door once when I stepped out without looking. It's beautiful around here.

How is the homeschooling going? Did you finish the Greek course with your kids?

Bears!

I noticed that you are now in Alaska. Is it very cold where you are right now?

We are on a farm, and I love it. The calf is the baby that our milk cow had about 5 weeks ago. She died not long after birth, but we have borrowed another milk cow for awhile. Here is our borrowed milk cow and our "future milk cow" ha.

We are still homeschooling. We have paused in our Greek studies, because we needed more concentrated time for the basics for awhile.

It is true that beginning puberty brings with it more difficulty in concentration. With my son, I've had to slow it down a bit for a season. It will be good when we pick Greek back up, and I hope to before too long. But that is one of the many benefits of homeschooling--each child gets a tailor-made education. Right now I am concentrating on making sure he sleeps a lot, eats very healthy food, and masters some basics. He also works out in the fresh air on the farm and plays Ultimate Frisbee.

Nurturing both the mind and the body of children is a full-time job!
