Life Lately - Christmas, Birthdays and Space Project

My updates are becoming less and less frequent, but I see that as a good thing, because life is very full and busy! I do however wish to keep a record of what we do as a family and our home education journey, so I am determined to keep posting whenever I get the chance.


 Before Christmas the children took part in our annual church nativity service.




Our baby turned two (she is still our baby!) and we celebrated with breakfast at Krispy Kreme 
doughnuts followed by a game of bowling.




A few days later our middle child Abigail turned 5!




Her birthday treat was a trip to the cinema to see the Paddington Movie followed by lunch at a family favourite, Pizza Hut!




In between birthdays we had a quiet family Christmas and kept our focus on Christ and His birth.


On New Years Eve Abigail was in hospital undergoing a Bronchoscopy under general anaesthetic to assess any changes in her airway restriction, caused by her double aortic arch.
We were really proud of how brave she was.




At Christmas we had a week off from formal lessons, but we were back the week after and have started a new project on Space. The children are thoroughly enjoying it and so am I.




Each day we set aside time to play puzzles and games. I found a lovely 3D Solar System jigsaw at the charity shop that ties in well with what we are studying.




For my Birthday (yes another one!), we had a family day at Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre. The children were very excited to see the Lovell telescope up close.







 Looking forward to another home schooling year in 2015!

  1. Happy birthday to everyone there. I love the 3D space puzzle. That looks like a great find. I have a section of books on my shelf for a space unit.
