School and other happenings

We started school today! We haven't started full-swing yet, but we have started most subjects. Also, Elizabeth started kindergarten (the best 3 years of her life)! Dad is teaching her for about an hour a day, and today they started on the letter S and learned the MFW alphabet song! She is making good progress in her speech, as well as her writing. This year I am doing Algebra 2 (Saxon), World History (Peter Notgrass), Biology (Apologia), English (ACE), and Spanish (possibly Rosetta Stone). I (and maybe Isaac) will be doing First Lego League again this year. We'll be in GRACE co-op again this year, and I can't wait for the next Fine Linen season! Oh, and I'll also be playing Basketball this year with RHAA, so I'll hopefully I'll post a schedule. Abby is playing volleyball this fall, so I'll probably (have/get to) go to some of her games. :D Well, I guess I should go do something else now. :D

Did You Know?

For about 10 percent of electricity in the United States, it’s fuel from dismantled nuclear bombs, including Russian ones.

So, in case anyone was wondering, my team won the championship on the 29th (without the benefit of an awesome cheering section :P

Okay, so my game got moved to 7:30 tonight, instead of 8:30. So you can come an hour earlier. :P

So, we won our game last night, which means we get to play in the championship game on Friday! The game is at 8:15, and I think I'm going to be pitching. This is your last chance to see one of my baseball games. :P

More Baseball!

The rest of my games are scheduled as follows.... :


Games this week:

Wed the 20th - 8:15

Fri the 22nd - 6:30

Next week:

Mon the 25th - probably no game. If we lose both games this week, we could play at 8:15

Wed the 27th - TBD

Fri the 29th - the championship, if we win Wed

Wind vs. Nuclear Power

Random Fact:

Which form of power would you say is more dangerous, wind or nuclear? Do you know how many Americans have been killed by radiation from nuclear power plants since the 1970s?

The answer is 0!
Do you know how many Americans have been killed by wind turbines since the 1970s?

The answer is over 100!

Nuclear power also happens to be more efficient. :D

The First of the July Birthdays.......

Today Elizabeth turned 7! I can hardly believe that she is 7 already! We had a birthday lunch/presents earlier, and swimming after lunch. Elizabeth is still pulling Woody's string. :D
I don't know where the camera is right now, so pictures are still to come!
