Domesday Book
We had a fun history lesson today. We were learning about William the Conqueror and the Domesday Book (like a census) he had put together after he conquered England in 1066 AD. The Domesday Book lists everyone who lived in England at the time and, knowing we have ancestors from there, I decided to Google […]
First Piano Recital
Adrianna has been taking private lessons from a friend of mine since September. Today, she had her first piano recital. She played and sang two songs, “Rockets” and “Sea Divers”. She walked right up and didn’t seem nervous at all before her performance. She did forget to curtsey at the end though. 🙂 Aunt Karen, […]

Now that she is in 2nd grade, we could choose the elective classes she takes. Here are the subjects she and I chose together: 1st Period: General Science 2nd Period: Computer Skills […]
Sound of Music

The Best Day Ever

Adrianna was excited to go to Options again, even if it was for just a half day today. She has some really fun classes there this year and some special friends are in several of those classes. (More […]
Literary Tea – Charlotte’s Web
We attended a Literary Tea on Tuesday with some other families from our Pneuma homeschool group. The theme was Charlotte’s Web. Sarah (the hostess) told them the story of Arachne (a Greek myth) and how it relates to arachnids. Adrianna was excited that she recognized the story from our study of Greece and Greek myths […]
Adrianna’s Second Tooth
Adrianna lost her second tooth tonight. This one had a lot more blood accompanying it, which freaked her out. But afterward, she was quite proud of her accomplishment and her new smile.
Summer Vacation 2012
For our vacation this year, we headed east at the beginning of August. The Yergler family reunion was held in Des Moines, which was a much easier drive for us than in previous years when it was in Indiana. Our first night was spent in Lincoln, NE. We were excited to have time to spend […]
