Kiara and Kasim's Sisters!

We picked up Zechariah and Zilliah (Kiara and Kasim's sisters) for Christmas!! We are soo excited! Of course we are going to spoil them! But also to show them what Love is and what family life is all about! I have tried my best to get these girl's out of their current situation but it's just not happening. We will continue to fight and pray and leave it up to the Lord above! But for now....this house is just pouring out love!! I will post pics soon!!

Homework!!

Need I say more?!?

Lately homework has been a little much and a little frustrating! Ray and I tag team so our patience can remain calm! He comes home with Math, Science, English and reading/journal homework! It takes Kasim a little longer to finish his homework than his sister. I do not let me stay up passed 9 trying to finish it. I tell him he needs his rest for the next day and to ask if he can have an extra day to finish it! I find myself talking to other parents to calm my nerves....is Kasim the only one who struggles?? Of Course not, but it can be a little overwhelming!  Those tricky Math problems...UGH!

I think the #1 thing I can do is build up his confidence! He is capable of anything and it is our job to find  different ways for him to learn. Thank goodness, Ray is great at Math!! And thank goodness for GOOGLE!! Cause I didnt know what a vertice was!! ha
