A while back you posted Christopher's schedule for highschool with the promise of letting us all know what you had up your sleeve for the rest of the kids. Any chance of that happening?

As you must already know, insufficient sleep weakens cognitive functioning. As far as I know, this is true even for geniuses on lattes...The side effects are cumalative, so maybe get a good nights sleep at least every now and then? 4 AM?

I had to comment to let you know that you aren't the only inspiration in your family.... My 5 year old son thinks that Emily and Christopher's beautiful block city is 'awesome', and has just emptied his bag of blocks next to me on the kitchen floor. PS Thanks to your Ordinary Parents Guide to Teaching Reading , our 5 and 4 year olds are already reading at 2nd and 1st grade levels respectively. We are loving the First Language Lessons and Story of the World too. Our elder two daughters (16 and 15) read your blog (and books) regularly too. I'll turn 40 this year too, so know exactly what sleeping through the alarm feels like just lately. Your schedule makes me tired just thinking about it. Keep up the great work!

I am jealous you are going to NY....somehow your homeschool mom life seems wildly more glamorous than mine. :) Love the pics of your family – especially all the laptops at the kitchen table, thats perfect!

I have also found children (one at a time!) in mine. I noticed that there was a very favorable review of your History of the World in Christianity Today!

The down side is that she has an incredible knack of creating vivid, unwelcome images in one's mind.

Reading stuff like that just gives me the heebie jeebies. (I still read it though.) I loved the picture of your children "enjoying the spring morning". Looks like my crew. I'm out planting the garden and trying to keep the twins in the back yard with me and the other ones are crowded around their technology. Children! Yow.
