September

It's hard to believe the summer is gone....and fall is upon us. Many of K1's little friends are starting preschool, so we are embarking on the journey ourselves. Not a whole lot will change in what we "do", but we are beginning to make connections with other homeschoolers in the area.
On September 22, we'll be joining a group for a tour of Rowena's, a local bakery. We have also connected with another family in Virginia Beach whose children are also just starting the homeschooling journey. We look forward to spending some more time with them.
We will be spending a lot of time this fall in the Botanical Garden exploring all the nature we can. They are also opening a children's garden which should add a lot of interest.
Keona will also be playing soccer and hopefully tennis. I grudgingly took on the task of coaching K's soccer team because they were short coaches. This will be quite a journey for me. I'm a little concerned about how Keona will "be" with me as coach, but I guess we'll take it as it comes.
We are also jumping into church. Keona will be signing up for Sunday school (which will give him some of that precious "socialization" that everyone worries he will miss by not going to preschool and (gasp!) public school. I will be teaching the first and second grade class -- which will be another first for me, too.
Kalani will be tagging along as much as he can and growing in his own ways. What a joy to see these two in action together. It is often just a big giggle fest! I am sure there are different waters ahead as K2 gets more assertive, but we will take it as it comes. LOL!
