National Aviation Museum and Wright Brothers Memorial in Dayton, OH
Here at the Wright Brothers Memorial, you can see the field (in the background) where Wilbur and Orville did their test flights in Dayton. North Carolina boasts the first flight and Ohio boasts that they perfected flight there.
Icarus at the Air Force Aviation Museum. It is really odd that both Wright Brothers Memorials and the Air Force Museum have Icarus carvings and statues. One would think they'd pick a figure who had a successful flight......... Hmmmmm

Graeter's Ice Cream
After the boys' bone marrow biopsies, we met some SDS friends at Graeter's ice cream. The best ice cream in Cincinnati.

Books, Books, oh joy!
The day the new school books arrive is always joyful. The books actually arrived yesterday, but we were too busy with hospital appointments to open the boxes. The boys were BUGGING me today to open the boxes...I mean BUGGING Me and BEGGING. I sure wish this enthusiasm lasted all year. All three of them went through each and every book. They are all excited about the new history books they have received. Ask me again in a few weeks--I am sure the history book will no longer excite them when they have to read it and answer questions daily. ha ha
Our youngest has some OCD issues and was in a panic because he doesn't like where we have the shelf this year. He had a meltdown when it came time to put his books on his bookshelf. oh My. He told me we needed to move the piano, the desk, the shelf, etc. Homeschooling a child with OCD issues is quite challenging. He has been upset all morning about his book shelf. Lying on te floor, rolling around....and now is putting his books on his shelf in alphabetical order. The other two had their books on their shelves in a minute. :-)Before bed last night, I just stuck his books on the shelf......this morning he's been working on it. Oh My!
Hard to believe that we are starting our tenth year of homeschooling! We will hopefuly be back up and running with exciting homeschooling events soon. Our youngest has a minor surgical procedure in a few weeks in Philly and we are trying to plan some sort of educational field trip.
Best wishes to all of you for a wonderful school year!
