I'll remember that!

Aw, he's beautiful! Congrats to your family as you cherish these special days!

Oh how exciting, Kathleen! Praying that everything goes well, and that you are soon holding that precious baby boy in your arms!

Oh, what a sweetheart! Congratulations!

Oh, I'm so sorry to read this. I've lost 2 babies, one at 17 weeks and the other at 18 weeks. I know that even though you trust in your Heavenly Father, that's is hard to say goodbye. I'll be praying for you and your family as you grieve and comfort each other.

That was one of our favorites, too! WE had gotten it from the library, but my daughter was thrilled to find a hardback copy at a garage sale this summer!

lol! That's awesome!

Oh Kathleen, what a great first day! I always enjoy seeing your posts because my kids are exactly a year behind yours, so it's fun to see and read about what we'll be doing next year! I hope the rest of August goes smoothly for you and that baby boy makes his appearance soon!

Thanks for asking this question! I placed an order last week and noticed that I hadn't received a shipping confirmation email yet. Guess things have changed and I can still hope to receive our box this week!

lol, you ladies made me laugh! You're right, there really is nothing sad about HOD, it's all wonderful: from poring over the catalog, to ordering, to getting our box, to teaching out of the wonderful guides, it's all good and a tremendous blessing to our family!

because it'll be a whole year before I get to order again! I've spent the last couple of months poring over the catalog, filling my cart online, dreaming about ordering.... and now I've hit submit, and that anticipation is gone! It's a good thing we have box day to look forward to!

You're right, HOD is special and our family loves it too! We'll be starting our 2nd year with HOD in August, and my daughter just yesterday asked me if we could start school already - we all love it!

Kathleen, thank you so much for sharing how you organized all your Preparing materials! We're doing that next year, and it's nice to kind of have a mental heads up before I get all the manual in my hands! SillyMamaLuvsU, thanks for asking the question! I'm a hands-on, visual person as well, and am e...

Oh, I wouldn't think you'd need the Teachers Manual. We did it this year without and never had the need for it!

Ooh, lucky you guys! I can't wait to order Preparing and Little Hearts. Gotta get our vacation paid off, and then I'm filling my basket! Have fun going through your box - wouldn't it be fun to live close to each other so we could look at each other's goodies? I know I'd love to get a peek at Beyond ...
