Guess it’s time to get this thing started….
Well, now that I’ve spent the past 30 minutes listing the fun things to do here in St. Louis, my brain is wanting to shut down and go to sleep. Although I was sleep deprived at the beginning of the week b/c of a weird antibiotic prescribed to me(never knew antibiotics could have that effect until looking on the web), I’m rested now and have been enjoying these past few days. Jared is on spring break, so he’s had a little more time to spend with us. Tuesday, we went to Powder Valley Nature Center where Gage attended a homeschool class called “The Life of a Seed”. Afterwards we took a walk and had a picnic. Both boys loved it, especially because we were all together. Then, today, the boys and I picked Jared up from work at 6 and went to the science center to see an Omnimax movie called, “Mummies: Secrets of the Pharaohs”. It was so awesome because Gage and I have spent the past few weeks studying Ancient Egypt and this tied it all together for us. They even had a child (actually 7-8 months old) mummy on display that we were able to see up close. I’m really enjoying learning all of this with Gage, and I think he is enjoying it, too. We’ve been studying Africa since the beginning of August and after finishing up Egypt, we’ll move on to South Africa and then be done with Africa. So, I guess you could say we have spent the entire school year studying Africa. Gage says it’s his dream to move there. He wants to live in the grasslands in a hut and he told me that if I don’t want to do that, then he and his Dad can live there and I can go somewhere with electricity! I’m so loved!

Lyra, you are TOO cool. I am very impressed! This is all so interesting, and I really enjoyed it (though have no idea how any of this can be created except by a miracle). Hi to all!
Thanks, Clarissa! Jared is the one who made it happen. I’m clueless when it comes to blogging, but I’m determined to learn!

Missing you, too! I’ve been thinking about you so much the past couple of days and planned to call you today. But, you know how that goes! We need to catch up soon, and please, please do come out for a visit! Love you guys! I’ll call soon.
Hey Lyra! How cool. Another good way to keep in touch! I would love to hear about your homeschooling experiences with Gage. Will and I are considering that along with CCS as our schooling options. We have a few years but are slowly starting the process of learning more about them. We hope you and Jared are doing well. Love, Aaren
