Homeschool Highlights - Big News!

This post contains affiliate links - using affiliate links from Homeschool Coffee Break helps fuel this blog and our homeschool - thank you!

Welcome to Homeschool Highlights! 

This weekly link-up is your opportunity to share some highlights of what is happening in your homeschool and in your world each week. If you write a wrap-up post at the end of each week, like I've been doing, we'd love to see what you're busy with from week to week. If you'd like to pick a favorite post from your week that spotlights a resource or activity in your homeschool that you'd like to tell others about, we're interested in those too. I'm keeping the guidelines as simple as I can, and they will appear at the bottom of each post, along with the link tool. I look forward to getting to know you, and I hope this will be a source of encouragement and good ideas for all of us.

Grab a cup of coffee and let's get started!

Homeschool news  . . . I know Kennady worked on History and Health and stuff on Monday, and a little bit on Tuesday, but then she came with me on a road trip the rest of the week, and didn't take any schoolbooks along. Despite my specific request that she do so. So I wasn't impressed with that, but there wasn't much I could do once we were six hours from home! I guess maybe she will have to do some homework on Sunday afternoon? Riiiight.

Other news . . . so here's my Big News! And my highlights for the week too, as well as the reason my post is a bit shorter than usual - my granddaughter arrived this week!

On Sunday evening, my daughter-in-law was admitted to the hospital with pre-eclampsia, and on Tuesday evening had a c-section to deliver the baby at around 34 weeks. So I now have a very tiny granddaughter - Veronica is just three and a half pounds, but she is doing very well.

So that's the road trip Kennady and I took - we drove out to Ohio on Wednesday and have been here meeting our newest family member.

What's New . . .

Just A Second is where I share book reviews and other book-related things, and update on what's on my bookshelf. This week I've been reading:

Shadow of the Storm (Out From Egypt)by Connilyn Cossette
Swept Away (Trouble in Texas) (Volume 1) by Mary Connealy
The Tea Planter's Wife: A Novel by Dinah Jefferies

A parting shot . . .  I guess I'll have to promise more baby pictures next week, when I'm back home (sort of) and have had time to get them onto a computer.

In the meantime, this is the church parking lot, where one of us usually parks at the youth center. In fact, Landon was parked there for a bit on Sunday afternoon. Later that day a storm blew through and brought down a few tree branches, including this one which would have done a bit of damage had a car still been there! Thankfully it wasn't.
