Weekly Recap 8/30-9/3

This week was a bit busier than usual because we had company.  On Tuesday, Grandmomma and Grandpap came.  Wednesday brought an aunt and cousins.  It's hard to enforce school time when there is more important work to be done.  What a blessing to be able to rearrange and accommodate the things that truly matter when the need arises.

We did get some of the learning in by focusing on the basics and putting the rest on hold.  S8 got his new Latin course in the mail and was thrilled to get started right away.  While there are two hymns to learn, he seemed much happier with this program. 

K14 and I listened to the first book of Augustine's Confessions in the car on the way to the airport on Tuesday.  Her iPod is already being put to good use.  The language and writing were much less tedious than I thought they might be.  She seemed to understand the main ideas.  Now that we've gotten our feet wet, we will be going back and following the guidelines outlined in The Well-Educated Mind. 

With that in mind and to encourage my own accountability, I've started another blog to chronicle our journey through a rhetoric level education.  Check it out and let me know what you think.
