School starts today!

As I sit here typing, Timmy is "attempting" to write out his vocab words...He just gets distracted so easily... Nicole is almost done with hers...and Chloe has colored and traced on her little worksheets, and got tired of all that coloring real quick... I am looking forward to including her in our unit studies for history, science, geography and bible...
We went to the "big" library in Athens on Friday and got a massive amount of books to be used for the unit studies...We are going to be working on U.S. History, starting with the Founding Fathers in History, Oceans and Hurricanes and so forth with Science, U.S. Geography and then World in Geography, and we will chronologically work our way through the Old Testament for Bible...
We have a membership to an online DVD rental thing that is like Netflix, but more educationally oriented...It is called "Family Pass". We have gotten some really neat DVD's through them.
It really works well as a supplement to the unit studies, and also the curriculum-based subjects... Here's the website if anyone cares....http://www.familypass.com
Anyway, I'm going to try to scan one of Chloe's pages now...
Gotta go....

Hi Aunt Jen and Family,

Wow, congrats (although belated) on the new arrival. Timmy is doing great with baseball, thats wonderful. Speaking of which Jeff and I went to Disney and got a couple of things for Timmy, Nicole and chloe. So give us a call and we will get your address to send it. Also, when Jeff and I were thinking of girls names a couple of them came to mind, here are some ideas... Savannah, Taylor, Camille, Emma, a couple of others too... Can't think of them all right now. But we miss you guys, and good luck with everything!

Love,

Jeff, Alicia, and Jadyn
