Announcing Dylan Nelson Nicholas Jarrell.
Boy, born 7:24pm on 3/29, 7lbs 14 oz, 20 in.

Mother is doing ok, lots of pain we're having to manage from an emergency
c-section.

So we're staying put at home for a while, brainwashing, err, teaching him
right. Ok, feeding and
changing diapers constantly is more like it.  Maybe he's training us...

Hi Keely (and boB!),

Life is busy. Marcello works form home these days as a translator, ( Eng to
Italian,and  Italian to Eng Software and technical stuff.) I'm a stay at
home wife now and Anna has proven to be a bit too bright for public school
so we are home schooling. ( She's 4th grade working on a 6th grade to High
school level) We live in Oregon now instead of Texas. Julie is out on her
own with 2 kids and lives in CA. I never thought I'd quit working and be
busier than I was when I worked full time. Between full time house wife,
full time teacher, plus volunteering for Oregon judicial department on child
welfare cases and helping set up emergency homeless shelters for
families,and cold weather shelters and services for the general homeless
population Life is good just busy.

So how's life with you guys???

Kathy

That's really good to hear, Kathy.  (Jumping in a bit. :D)  How do  
you like homeschooling?

We've been doing it for years, first with the older two kids (one is  
now working days and starting a career as in indie film maker during  
the evenings, the other is in the Air Force, and at the moment in  
Iraq), and now with the youngest, who's in fifth grade.

And how do you like the whole working from home thing.  We finally  
got all our work under our own roof the end of December last year--- 
I'm interested to know how you guys do it.

Cheerfully,

Holly

Hi Holly,

Homeschooling is interesting but we are loving it. I didn't know how much I
forgot till I had to relearn it to keep up with Anna. Then there is the
little detail that I didn't do Algebra till high school and Anna is about to
start algebra at 9y/o.(10 in august) Clearly she will surpass me, luckily
Marcello is 99.9 percentile in math so that's going to save us. He's doing
math and science, I'm working on the rest. Though honestly we are changing
our methods a lot this coming year. This year we tried a set curriculum and
that worked better than public school but not as well as we had hoped so
next year we will be doing more of a unit approach.

For writing Anna has developed a series of fairy stories (She wants to make
it a kids book) but recently started struggling and I think we will make it
more of a unit involving art to help her visualize her stories. She seems to
like 3 dimensional art rather than drawing or painting, so we will likely be
making clay characters and painting backdrops for her to put them in.

Our plan for Reading is loosening a bit...from a reading program to just
read good books and lots of them.

The science she has chosen for next year is Chemistry, Astronomy and
Geology. The math will be algebra and what ever math she needs for the above
science.

There's more but you get the general idea I'm sure. Did you work with ready
made curriculum, units or unschool or classical training?

Wow Your kids sound great! I can't believe the youngest is in 5th already!

My form of working from home involves a lot of homeschool and housework with
a little work for Marcello on the translation business. I don't do any
translation but there is invoices and the other stuff that comes with a home
based business. the rest of the stuff I do is because I seem to have
"Sucker" tattooed on my forehead. LOL! Yes I'm a sucker for a cause but I do
want Anna to grow up knowing that you help where you can and when you can
and having compassion for people that need help.
