Homeschooling, Life, and a Birthday for Bug: April 22-28, 2013

We had another good week. Doodles finished her study of India, while Bug and I started the next book in the Narnia series: The Silver Chair. Baby Girl continued with her verses, plus we added a new one this week. She is still loving her Circle Time. The weather has been very nice, so we've also been able to spend a lot of time outside. We also celebrated Bug's 10th birthday...so hard to believe he is that old now. I am so thankful to be able to capture some of our best moments in photos, because the time surely does fly by! With that being said,  here are the highlights of our week:
