Life is gritty, messy, chaotic and imperfect. I want to remember every moment of it!
Normally the kids have their piano recital at USFs school of music. They sit on stage and play on a beautiful grande piano. This year we did zoom recitals. Amanda, their piano teacher came by a few days early to give Natalie her 5 year award. It was a sad moment when Kobe ran out of the house to greet […]
KJ is taking an art class this semester that focuses on the art work from different cultures. This week they made Adobe houses that are located in Mexico. I am […]
We added robotics to our home school schedule this year. Kobe is having such a great time and literally rushes through his mornings with anticipation of getting to class. The teacher calls herself a “boy teacher” and brings much excitement and hands on learning. The focus is on building Lego models with working motors and sensors and then using software […]
Kobe loves all things body. We did anatomy last year in Classical Conversations so I was hesitant about putting him in another anatomy class. I did not want him getting […]
Natalie auditioned to be on the schools morning show. She could hardly contain herself when she found out she was one of the kids selected. The set up is pretty […]

Amazing, God driven events have been unfolding in Tres education. As I referred to here we have had some recent frustrations with a charter school we tried to get Tres enrolled in. Good friends of ours were recently at a restaurant were they over heard a reporter discussing research that his company was doing on Charter Schools in Florida. Our friends shared in the struggles their […]
The media teacher at Nat’s school is always finding the greatest ways to get kids excited about reading. This past week Nat participated in the Magic Tree House Bowl. The 3rd graders […]
Anyone who reads my blog knows about the many transitions and adjustments we have had to make concerning Tres education. His elementary school years were wonderful. Middle school was great. […]
Kobe, I am guessing, will probably be reading at an earlier age than his other siblings. Not because he is smarter, but because he has big sisters and brothers who […]
When we found out Tres had Cerebral Palsy we were so determined to raise him up just like a normal child. We did not want to treat him like he […]
