Happy first day of school!

We officially started GVA today. As I anticipated, it took us a looooonnnnggg time to finish our lessons, but I was very encouraged by the quality of the work my children turned out. Larry had a rocky start with pre-algebra today, but eventually we both got the hang of it and he really seemed much more engaged with his math work than is typical.

Dish Network got re-installed today so the house -- already a mess -- got turned upside down, and the dogs dragged the trash all over the dining room. We finished school only about a half-hour before we had to leave for church. Still, it was a great feeling to file attendance and know the first day is behind us.

We get to try our hand at science tomorrow, and the children are anxious to get started with that subject. Hopefully, we'll hone our schedule and each day will get a bit easier until we have it down. I'm tired but pleased and am looking forward to what's next.
