You see, we adopted two little boys from Ethiopia 3 months ago. A 4 year old and a 20 month old. It has been quite a difficult adjustment for me and I was pretty concerned how I would possibly homeschool this year with a 7th grader, two 5th graders, a preschooler and a toddler and still trying to adjust to the MAJOR changes in our lives.
Our week was amazing! I love how independent CTC is. It couldn't have come at a better time for us. This program is amazing. I mean - AMAZING. Everything is put together in a brilliant fashion. Carrie, God has blessed you with an unbelievable talent in writing these guides. It blows me away that you are able to write this curriculum and raise your family. Truly, it is a gift.
As I would take the little boys out on our morning walks while the older 3 worked on school at home (I was close by in the neighborhood with my cell phone
), I would just thank God for Carrie and her dedication and wisdom and talent. I would pray for God to bless her family. I am SO thankful for HOD. I really don't know how I would be doing school this year with any other program. God again has supplied our needs. At a time when I'm weary in every sense of the word, He has refreshed me with CTC. The kids LOVE it. They are excited each day to see what is new to learn. (They love listening to What in the World CDs! So do I - I listen to it at night while doing floor exercises...) This program is DOABLE - which in my life right now is really saying something. And it's not only doable, it's immensely enjoyable. I look forward to collapsing each night in my bed with my CTC books to read. I am learning so much.
May God continue to bless you, Carrie, in the work of your hands and in the care of your family. I just can't tell you what a joy it is to use HOD.
Praying that you continue to be blessed!
