Week 14----the Exodus FINALLY!

This has been a week of Adjustments. The ortho decided Ying has broken the Scaphoid bone in her wrist so she is now in a full blown arm cast on her writing hand.  Hence we are typing our assignments. We are thrilled to be on the move. We've enjoyed Ancient Egypt but its time to move along dogggies..lol.....

 Yang's typing too and we've moved some assignments to Group work. Above is Yang's assingment from Language Lessons for today. Since dictation isn't really feasible write now the girls wokred together to reviews the 10 commandments and the plagues.

Math Brainteaser of the Week:

 So this picture went viral on the web this week and we struggled about showing it to our girls. Its of their friend Lake's family. Lake's parents were unable to have a wedding during his lifetime due to medical bills and complications from Lake's diagnosis. Lake passed away 6 months prior to this picture. I know it was a very bitter sweet day. I wasn't sure how the girls would respond to the ghosting in this photo. In the end this picture became an after thought in a even tougher conversations. Another family friend lost a child this week to an unthinkable accident involving a handgun. We had to break the news the same day DH and I were discussing the picture. The kids did not take the news well and have a lot of questions. Most revolve around "How could adults let this happen?" Its so hard to explain how adults make mistakes too and mistakes sometimes have huge consequences. So I ask that you pray for both families. Pray for this family, and the family who lost a toddler just like "poof". Pray for a father who made the ultimate mistake and paid an unthinkable price.
