Timothy and Katelyn started at Covenant College yesterday. I'm so incredibly thankful that God has made the way for them to go. I appreciate the Christ centered approach to academics that Covenant takes and their emphasis on Christian community. Timothy and Katelyn were invited to be a part of the international students/third culture kids orientation which we were thankful for. Saying goodbye was hard. We've had so much loss and the kids are so incredibly close to each other that it's not easy. But we're counting down the days til we see them again!

I'm so late on this post, because the summer has been crazy busy. But! Timothy and Katelyn graduated this year from high school. Timothy actually finished most of his high school work last year, but we delayed his graduation so he could do a semester of dual enrollment (free college!) at Georgia College this past year. The local homeschool group that we are a part of had a small ceremony for the graduates and their families. It's really hard to believe that I crossed the homeschool finish line with the first two. Now they are off to Covenant College this fall. Timothy hopes to go into robotic engineering and Katelyn is going to major in history and do something with history and writing combined (hisortical research writing or historical fiction writing?). I'm so proud of these two! They've worked so hard! Each of them, between AP courses and dual enrollment, have about a year of college already done. I'm so thankful that I was privaledged to be such a large part of their academic career so far. I'm even more thankful for how they desire to serve the Lord as they push out into the world. Soli Deo Gloria! The kids wore the Uganda flag sash to represent the years that they studied in Uganda.
Timothy, who is working towards a degree in Robotic Engineering, recently helped Talitha to make a robot. She was SO thrilled. She got to attach the wires and help to program it. And she had us all in stitches because she played with her robot (That she named Zobo) as if it was another one of her pets. All day we heard things like, "oh Zobo, you are just so cute!" and "Come on Zobo, let's go play in the kitchen!" and when she ran Zobo into our feet? "Aww....Zobo wants to give you a hug!! Isn't he just so sweet?"
Timothy was pretty thrilled that his little sister wanted to do some STEM with him. Katelyn, my future English or History major, may have been overheard at dinner that night saying, "Talitha, instead of building a robot, why don't I teach you how to write a story?" And so the friendly sibling rivalry goes on... |
