7, 8, 9...

We are getting to our "crazy" season! So posts maybe few and far between. In less than 3 wks, we will be headed (in real life), on a secret trip to Isla del Encanto! Yes, it can still be a secret when I'm posting on my blog b/c the surprisees do not read by blog:-) That being said, I'm super excited and you know how hard it can be to be productive when you are looking forward to something in reachable distance! I'm trying to push through these next few wks and get everything finished!


Now back to previous weeks 7, 8 and 9! Sadly, my camera battery charger is lost and hubby accidentally erased most of my camera phone pics which = s no pics and mostly boring post. I LIKE my pictures!

We traveled to Canada for 2 wks and Brazil for week 9 and we are in week 10 now. We are learning so much!

The highlight while studying Canada was learning about George Muller (who is German lol!) WOW! This man was AMAZING!
The day after we started reading about George Muller in Hero Tales,
I found this free downloadable book written by him! I wasn't even looking for that but when I downloaded another book, this one came up as a recommended book!
Week 9 we started the biography of Nate Saint.

We have been loving this read aloud because it's packed with so much action. Abrianna interrupts all the time and says "What's going to happen?". I keep replying, "We have to keep reading to find out."

We also found a Brazilian Bakery super close to us and have enjoyed many pastries and breads from there!

So far, we have learned all of the names of the North American countries, including the islands and we are working on learning the ones in South America.

That's the "school" update :-)

In other news, Jose's family came for the weekend from Miami and we had a birthday party for Elijah, who turned 8 a few wks ago! Here are a few Noy family pics (courtesy of my SIL)!
