This week has been a bit busier than usual.\u00c2\u00a0 My normal schedule includes Karate 2x\/week, theater 1x\/week, RCIA 1x\/week, RE-Choir-Youth Group 1x\/week.\u00c2\u00a0 This week has included in addition to all that a visit to the orthodontist for\u00c2\u00a0 Jacob’s braces<\/a> on Monday, an appointment for mom with an orthopedic surgeon – also on Monday, Tuesday Vespers and Mass in the evening, and 2 appointments with a Physical Therapist on Thursday and Friday.\u00c2\u00a0 Thus, Nettie’s World has been anything but quiet, even while the blog has languished.<\/h5>\n
The good news for the week is — No Knee Surgery!!\u00c2\u00a0 We had some concerns about that, but the surgeon put them to rest.\u00c2\u00a0 Mom just needs a few weeks of PT to strengthen her and get her back on her feet, and she’ll be off to the races again.\u00c2\u00a0 Thanks be to God!<\/h5>\n
While I was out and about with mom for her appointments, I kept in touch with the kids to make sure they were staying on track with their assignments.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s always iffy when it comes to Jacob, but two texts I got back from Laurent on Thursday absolutely warmed the cockles of my classical homeschooling mother’s heart:<\/h5>\n
“Very well.\u00c2\u00a0 Jake has done a chapter in Christ the King [that’s his new history curriculum – reading text plus 3 pages of workbook] & is almost done w\/chapter 1 in Latin.\u00c2\u00a0 I am teaching him and reading Dante.\u00c2\u00a0 Meg is doing Aristotle, and Gen is also doing Latin.”<\/em><\/h5>\n
and — <\/p>\n

“You will be very impressed with Jake’s work!\u00c2\u00a0 He is focusing well.”<\/em><\/h5>\n

I was utterly amazed when I got home and saw the 6 workbook pages he had done, including what for him was a really astounding amount of handwriting.\u00c2\u00a0 Very, very encouraging that he is able to accept Laurent as a coach and work well for her.\u00c2\u00a0 And as Paul said, what could be more natural than older siblings helping youngers, passing on their hard-won wisdom?<\/h5>\n
