Hi, again! Our journals are pretty exciting these days, with this week's entry thinking about the first sailors to come across to North America. One of the ships in our stories was called "The Sea Adventure." Here's our take on them:

Nate, June 7:
About Sailor Nate

Hi, I'm sailor Nate. I am on the "Sea Adventure." You know I have fun on the crow's nest but to get to the fun is the rigging and I am afraid of the rigging. I'm afraid of the rigging because I can go overboard, and I could be drowned by the big waves.

The Sea Adventure

If I were a sailor, I would put the mast up. I would look for a new island.

Each boy writes in his journals while the other one is reading to me, and I am so proud of how they get into their writing projects!

So many things I wish I could post as well. We made our own compasses from needles and magnets, and used graph paper to draw compass roses today, and they turned out great! The boys are also having a hard time waiting for history to get to cowboys, so we have some great shots of them dressed up in cowboy hats we found for them recently. Some great art work from the Saturday art class they attend once a month with their long-standing friends Noemi and Jonas.

And Dad's got a great science program going, and we're having fun learning keyboard and how to read music... Now all we need is a coach for a neighbourhood soccer club... That's our latest prayer request. We even have a tournament to attend on July 17.

So after our long silence, we've got some good things to post!
