We got our box today!! We got Resurrection to Reformation and everything looks SO wonderful. The Shakespeare pages are very beautiful, as are the student notebook pages! I can hardly wait till next school year! I said to my husband, "now I can't wait to get done with the work that we're on now so we can start the new ones!" He said, "well just skip it and go to the next one (joking...i think)." He has no idea how tempting that is to me. I felt like he was playing the part of a little devil on my shoulder. LOL I know we still have lots of great stuff ahead in CTC so we will stick with it to the end. Just wanted to share the excitement of our Box day!

I am sooooo excited for you and totally agree!! We also got all of our new school in this week (RTR, Preparing, and LHFHG), and I said the EXACT same thing to my husband and kids I just cant wait for next year, because I am enjoying this year so very much... Looks like we will both be doing RTR so I hope you enjoy, although I am positive that we WILL!!

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!! You're right, everything looks SO beautiful!!

Looks like all 3 of us will be together in RTR next year!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so cool to see moms who've used HOD before, get so excited about school.

Yep Daph, you've noticed an important benefit with HOD. I knew from the first year that this is THE curriculum for us. Thanks Heather and Beverett. I look forward to enjoying the RTR guide alongside you.

Leah,

I also noticed that we have both been married since 1994, and you have a 12yo in CTC this year, and I have a 13yo in CTC this year! How fun!!

I can't wait!! I got some items "used" from a momma who tried HOD and didn't stick with it. I still have many more items to order and just haven't yet - I am trying to be a good girl and wait on the $$$ to actually be available to me (and not use a credit card!). I will be joining all of you in RTR with my oldest son (and Bigger with my youngest).

Congratulations! You are going to love RTR! We are doing ti again this coming year. I am really excited to share it with my next batch of kids. We are also still on CTC and I agree that is wonderful too. Enjoy! It is great to love what you are doing and also where you are headed.

I'm so excited for you! We have many years before we get to RTR but I love looking at all the older programs and drooling over them

Oh wow, that's neat Heather! My "12yo" son actually turned 13 in November I just haven't updated my sig yet. So that's even more cool!

That's great Rebecca! Good job for waiting on the $$$. It will be better that way. In my case it was a matter of "get it while we still have the bonus check before it's all gone" Looking forward to doing RTR with you. If I remember right your son is a good artist. I look forward to seeing more of his work. I feel bad that I haven't kept up the the Week in Reviews very well.

Thanks water2wine! It is fun to have so many kindred spirits on here.

Thanks Stephanie! You will be here before you know it.

Leah,

I'm so excited that you are excited! We are loving RTR this year with my third son and have learned so much and have had such wonderful discussions. We pray RTR will be a blessing to your family too.

Thanks for sharing. You filled my cup today!

Blessings,
Carrie

HOORAY for box day! We are almost done with RTR - it has been such a good year. I love paging back through my ds's History Student Notebook, and even his Shakespeare Notebook turned out to be beautiful (this from my child who scribbled black crayon over everything when he first began coloring ). If you had told me 7 years ago when we began LHTH that my ds would be doing the work he is doing now in RTR - I really could not have fathomed it. It truly is amazing how dc grow and learn, and how the Lord and HOD bring them along. You are all going to have such fun with RTR next year - I will have to relive it vicariously through you! (That is, until I get to do it again with Riley. )

In Christ,
Julie

Julie and Carrie Thank you so much! I know from past experience with HOD that RTR will be a wonderful blessing for us!
