ARRIVING IN FEBRUARY 2015~A NEW BABY
No, it is not ours, but Nathan and Hannah are expecting baby 3.  Here is the photo she posted on Facebook to announce to their friends and extended family, plus another one she sent me.

First Day of School 2014~by Beth

Here are my students for 2014.  This is the last year I will have 7 in school, besides college.  Next year it will go down to 6 students after David graduates in May of 2015, which is more manageable.  Then, the Spring of 2016, Christiana will graduate and I will decrease to 5 students.  Wow, I won't know what to do with myself by then.  That same fall my oldest grand daughter will begin home school too.  Of course her mama and daddy are already teaching her all kinds of things.  Last year I visited them for Audrey's birth and I had three of my students along.  Stephen was just beginning kindergarten and I didn't want to lose any ground, so he came along.  We had school each morning and Lydia, age 2.5 then, sat with us for our phonics and math drills; at least as long as we kept her attention.  She eventually drifted away, but it was a privilege for me to get to invest into her life.  Caleb is back at the newly renamed Florida Southwestern College (formerly Edison) for his 3rd semester.  He is eventually going to get a PTA certification, and in the future go for his Physical Therapist license.

Beach Day with our friend Keith~by Beth

We had a fellow we met when we lived in Marysville, Washington come visit us in Cape Coral the first weekend of August.  Of course we had to go to the beach.  Here we are playing in the sand and water.  It was our last Summer activity before we began school on the following Monday.
