the box came today!!!! I'm such a delinquent. This time of the year here on the farm is so crazily busy. I really should be in the garden or disbudding baby goats, BUT no, I'm snuggled up looking at all the wonderful things my children are going to be doing. I've never wanted to start school early so badly!!!! I LOVE the books and I'm totally impressed with the notebooking pages for CtC. WOW!! At first I was a bit "put off" by the price, but I can see now that they are well worth it.
Everything is so well put together....Bible woven in perfectly, dictation, fun and engaging without sacrificing academic excellence. I'm beyond pleased!!! But, I better leave off now so I can get them organized and get to my more regular work.
Thank you, Carrie!!
Blessings,
Christina

Hooray for box day! Have fun pouring over your books and envisioning the year you have ahead of you! Aren't the Student Notebooking pages amazing? Being in full-color with so many beautiful graphics costs some money to print, but it's so worth the keepsake it makes. My ds's portfolio of his school year is so neat - you are going to love doing CTC! Thanks for sharing your happy day with us here!

I'm so excited for you!! My box from HOD arrived just a week and a half ago and I, too, was completely amazed! It is such a beautiful program. I found myself just reading and reading into what my children were going to be learning and it made me wish I had such an education as a child!
We will be doing CTC this coming year too. I am thankful for your excitement and pray this year is a real blessing for our family as well as yours!!!
I'm so excited for you!! We received our things last week! My kids wanted to read every book as we were unloading the boxes! Need to hide them! Have a fun evening going through your goodies!!

I'm so excited for you to have CTC in your hands! I'm thrilled you like the looks of it and the notebooking pages too. I have to say that as the notebooking pages are slowly being completed bit by bit for RTR, they are absolutely beautiful too. Plus, they are full of the artwork of the Renaissance! So, they are doubly beautiful. Our graphic designer will love to hear your sentiments as he's hard at work.
Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. We pray that CTC may be a blessing for your family on your homeschool journey.
Christina, ours came on Thursday (just ordered on Sunday, so it was FAST!), and I totally agree!! Everything looks WONDERFUL, and I can hardly wait to get started with our new school year. This year, I'm really looking forward to August!!
Love in Christ,
