Oct 7-11th, 2013  
Sonlight Core F  
Week 3

We had a good week and got some more things added back into our schedule.  We restarted our exercise dvd program with Leslie Sansone on the days we didn't have something scheduled.  She has a Swim & Gym class on Tuesday and a Gym class on Thursday; so she didn't need to workout on those days.

Dh celebrated his birthday during this week, so Dd had a lot of fun painting and cooking and working hard to make his birthday special with gifts made with lots of love and care.  I will try to get some photo's of her work....except the cake---I think it is too late to take a picture of that!!!

Bible--Veritas Press is really going very well!!!  It is really GREAT getting to really sink our brains into Genesis and not rush, rush through our bible reading for a change!!  I am really loving it!  We are completed Genesis Through Joshua- Card 11-Sodom & Gomorrah on Monday; and Tuesday through Friday we completed Card 12- Abraham & Isaac.

Who Is My Neighbor? (And Why Does He Need Me?) -- Biblical Worldview of Servanthood (What We Believe, Volume 3... by John Hay and David Webb

We finished Apologia's What I Believe- Who Is My Neighbor book-page 263-276.  This was a great book.  This was particularly appropriate to co-ordinate with Sonlight's Core E b/c they had a running story throughout the book of a family that had half of their family in the North and half of their family in the South.  The family voiced the thoughts, feelings, and concerns that were common during the Civil War and connected well with Core E.
