Sunflower's Four will explore a myriad of topics including but not limited to homeschooling, Charlotte Mason Style; students with learning difficulties, dyslexia particularly; reading, British Literature mostly; animals, Black Hereford cows specifically; and current political hot topics controversially. We are a homeschooling family of four with our faces turned toward the Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Is it summer yet? I'm not sure if it's the spring weather, the flowers blooming or the ever-present storms in Texas, but I definitely have Spring Fever. Our co-op has three more weeks of classes and then SUMMERTIME. I cannot wait. This year, in a lot of ways, has been our most productive year. I have seen tremendous growth academically in my daughters. But that productivity definitely took its toll. The school year seems to be never-ending for us. How do kids survive who attend high-pressure college prep private schools? They must be exhausted all the time. Don't get me wrong. I am definitely in support of high-academic standards and exposure to a liberal education. But, finishing strong seems like an daunting task. Lord, give us strength to finish the task you have set before us, because in my own strength it is impossible.
