starting the year

Well, we took a year to just relax and enjoy life, which we seriously needed. Now we are beginning. Its been a busy year for us too, we basically just unschooled and had fun with things. Now we are kicking off our first *formal* year, starting it now because I'm 22 weeks pregnant with a surprise blessing we'll call Jordan. No we don't have a gender yet, we find that out in about 6 weeks or so. But anyways, about my upcoming year for Melissa and Lydia.

This is what we bought to use:

Sonlight core B (formerly known as core prek)
Singapore Earlybird Math 1 (also got EB 2 so that there's no wait when we finish EB 1)
Handwriting Without Tears prek
Ready, Set, Go for the Code (shelved for now though, I'm getting Melissa's handwriting up a little more first)
Kumon tracing book for Lydia
Kumon cutting book for Lydia (shelved for now)

Its really going well so far, we are finishing up our second week of lessons but its still week 1 in the IG, I'm going half speed for the sake of stretching.
