Math 3 - Complete

I'm so proud of Drew, he started Third grade Math in November and has finished all 118 lessons. He is so excited to have completed his Math lessons. I want to praise his diligence and perseverance. It wasn't easy and there were days when he wanted to quit, but with some prodding from his Teacher, he pushed through. I am so proud of my little Math wiz! Mommy AKA Teacher

6 Things to Get Excited About When Living in the Country

1. Chickens - oh how I love chickens, they are so funny and personable. They are also way cheaper than a horse! 2. I can landscape as much as my checkbook allows! 3. You never know what little critters will be waiting outside the door - this morning it was a cute little box turtle! 4. Coffee is sweeter and more enjoyable on a front porch overlooking the green shaded lawn. 5. Kids have so much room to run and jump and climb, that might explain why Abby only gained 2 inches in height and 2 pounds in weight in an entire year! 6. Family time is more frequent when its done in daddy's new shop!

The Man In The Arena

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
