The McMillins

We have had a VERY busy summer. We've either gone to the movies, the library, the Children's Museum, out with friends, to a barbeque, to the beach or to church all summer long. Plus, Gretchen started homeschooling Zach last week. So, add that to the list of activities and school HAS to be AT LEAST 4.5 hours per day or it's not counted to be a school day by law. So, Gretchen is keeping records of the time that she does school with Zach.

Zach is doing such a good job in school. Gretchen is staying very busy with teaching him and planning for the school days. She's got all of her lesson plans done for the year but it looks like a lot of them are going to be changed b/c he's already been taught most of the material in the curriculum. However, she is making sure that he knows it before she goes on. He's just a VERY smart kid. Intellectually, he is probably more in 2nd grade. We just don't want to rush him.

We went to the beach last weekend. It was so much fun and so much easier with 2 adults rather than 1. Gretchen went to the beach with the kids by herself a couple of weeks ago. They had a lot of fun but she said it was a lot of work being by herself.

We will try to update more often but with school going on, it's been hard to find the time. Enjoy our pictures from the beach.
