September
What a fun month we had!
Somehow, our tiny, loveable tornado Marian turned three! We all (especially her big sisters) were so excited to celebrate her! We were rained out of the fair, but she brought the sunshine and couldn’t have been happier with her hands full of lollipops!
With a month of homeschooling under our belt, we have already learned so much! Abi is not only making gains in reading and math, but she has discovered a love for circuit building and found that while she loves to talk about stories, “narration” is not her favorite part of school. We have practiced making watercolor paintings of seashore creatures, studied paintings by Raphael, celebrated Michaelmas (including a feast prepared by the girls). We have enjoyed singing “Shady Grove”, and “Abide With Me”, and “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” in Spanish. Swedish Drill and clapping games bring energy to our days. We are reading about ancient history, improving our handicraft skills, learning life lessons from Aesop’s Fables and so much more! The girls are loving their out-of-the-house lessons too! Piano lessons, swimming lessons and beginning CCD at church have all be so exciting!
On top of all that, we are so grateful for all the time we have in our day to bake and romp and play and anticipate tooth fairy magic! We are only just beginning, and we are already feeling so fortunate that this is the path we have chosen.
I hope you enjoy this peek into our sweet and crazy days!
The Fam Treehouse 
Thanks Matt and Cara for sharing a little bit of your happiness with the girls. What a wonderful family you have, and it is always a pleasure to hear about their growing up things they are learning and doing. Matt it is wonderful keeping in touch. I don’t get to see mom very often but love seeing your girls and David’s kids grow up and become young people.
