Update

I went to the USCIS website and saw that they are now (as of December 30) processing September applications.  We applied in October so now that it is almost March I pray they are doing our paperwork soon if not maybe it was done yesterday.  We are just about ready to send our paperwork to the next step.  I took our pile to our women's Bible study this morning and asked if they could pray over it before we send it off.  

Homeschool news:

Elijah has successfully written each letter and number (now to learn the sounds for each)

He is doing simple addition and subtraction as well as counting by 10's, 2's and 5's.

Ashleigh is preparing her final speech for her speech and debate class on Ruby Bridges if you do not know about Ruby please ask Ashleigh to tell you sometime.  After her speech on orphans she raised over $5 from her class.  We raised about $25 for Change for Orphans.

Ashleigh is zooming through her math curriculum, instead of jumping ahead to the next book we will spend some time in workbooks building on her skills, maybe even some logic problems.

We are reading Misty of Chincoteague.
