So, let me get this straight… a teacher can be considered highly qualified according to standards that include “job evaluations, teaching awards or service on school committees”, and some people are concerned about the level of education our children will receive when home-schooled?

Yesterday, we went to the Endicott Elementary School, armed with an incubator and a half-dozen eggs. We went into the first grade class, and Mike proceeded to set up the incubator, teaching the kids how to keep an eye on the whole process, and promising them we’d be back in 2 1/2 weeks to check on the progress.

Today, we went to run errands, starting with a visit to the doctor. This was followed by a trip to the bank and fabric store, back to the doctor, then on to Subway for lunch for me, then the grange for feed and fence posts, then the grocery store. Our last stop on the way out of town was back at the doctor’s, to do one more blood pressure check. I came home and took a nap, then checked email, then went into town for a meeting of the Quilt Guild. While I was napping, the new farrier showed up and shoed Danny. Mike tended her (she doesn’t “tie”, so you have to hold her lead the whole time) for the whole two-hour process, so he wins the...

We now have baby duckies!! They arrived a little over a week ago. When I get a chance, I’m going to update the “Our Family” page and you’ll see pictures of the little cuties. They’re growing like little weeds, too, already doubling in size from when they got here.

As of this morning, we have new baby chicks! Momma Chicken hatched at least 3 so far. The other hens were nagging her while she was setting (even climbing into the nest with her) so we relocated the chicken nursery to the spare bathroom. Last time we went in there we saw 3 very, very new baby chicks. Don’t know how many we’ll get in all, but that’s at least a start.

I’ve also started volunteering at the school. I was there all day today, spending most of my time with the first grade class. They’re so cool! Mr. Anderson (the first grade teacher) has informed me that I can come and help whenever I get the urge to. He’s also planning a...

My, but it HAS been a busy few days. Let’s see.. well, I went to watch part of the basketball playoffs for this area over in Pullman last Friday. St. John-Endicott’s boys team made it to the state playoffs, along with several other teams from Whitman County. SJE plays tonight, and if they win, they play for the championship title tomorrow. If they win, I’m going to go to Spokane and watch the final game. :)

Hm, well, Monday we had baby class again. The first hour was spent with Dr. Mellor telling us about pain medications you could use and what the effects of each were on the mom & the baby. I’m pretty much hoping I can get by without needing anything at all, and I’m going to try. But don’t be surprised if I report needing an epidural. :) The second hour, we went to see the birthing room. Someone had just had a baby that day, so we couldn’t see the recovery room, but that&#...
