Christian has been on Spring Break this week, and Lily’s is next week (Hooray for next year when they will FINALLY be on the same schedule). We’ve been doing a whole LOT of NOTHING. We’ve focused on sibling time. The kids have had lunch together everyday which honestly is my Read More

New Title: The Hearing Aid Teacher

March 1st, 2012 by

I thought my previous title for this blog, Education & Advocacy For the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, was a bit generic and impersonal. After brainstorming using techniques I teach my students (glad to know that they work!), I came up with The hearing aid teacher. Why this title and what does it Read More

It’s Official: We’re Moving

February 9th, 2012 by

I’ve been putting off writing about this for several weeks now. I guess because I feel that if I write it here then it is OFFICIAL. And so it is…we’re moving…just about 10 minutes away but, we still have to do all the “moving stuff” that drives my husband Read More

November 13th, 2011 by

Alexander has a few words. He has been saying “hi” for quite a while, but it sounded more like “ha” and now it sounds perfectly like “hi.” Here are the other words he has been saying in the last month: dog, cat, cow, moo, nose, good-bye, daddy, uh-oh. He Read More

Homeschool Bennies #3

September 6th, 2011 by

But aren’t you worried about socialization? Yes, very, that’s why we homeschool! We are free to dance to the beat of a different drummer, because our number one goal is not “to fit in”. I’ve been reading a wonderfully encouraging book by R. C. Sproul called When You Read More

Hands-On Summer Science

June 24th, 2011 by

Although it’s summer, I’m cruelly forcing the boys to continue reading and learning.  Which they do a pretty good job of all on their own, but we’re also doing some organized science studies.  They always think they want completely free, unstructured time, but that Read More

Bojan’s graduation

June 7th, 2011 by

Okay, I’ll try to be nice but I also have to be honest.  Personally, I think it is ridiculous to have a 5th grade graduation.  But, we went.  It is nice seeing our son get awards and things but I think 5th grade “graduation” is a bit much.  When we grew up,you had high Read More
