“T stands for Tar Heel,
a title that we’re all proud of.
Our flag, our ancestors, “good people,”
we honor the history we love.”
I’m still working on catching up with the kids State-by-State study. At this point, as we finish up our 2011-2013 school year, the kids have all completed 20 states. Not quite half, but we are making progress. I have high hopes that we will be able to finish the remaining 30 by next summer, since we won’t be adding on to our home, or having another new baby this Christmas. Excuses, excuses. 😉
Even though it has taken time to fit the State Study in to our busy schedule, we all think it has been worth the extra effort! The girls have been having so much fun with their baking, and the boys love flipping through their albums and looking back at all of their little illustrations for each state.

Prayer of Mothers
Father in heaven, grant me the grace to appreciate the dignity which you have conferred on me. Let me realize that not even the Angels have been blessed with such a privilege—to share in your creative miracle and bring new Saints to heaven. Make me a good mother to all my children after the example of Mary, the Mother of your Son. Through the intercession of Jesus and Mary I ask your continued blessings on my family. Let us all be dedicated to your service on earth and attain the eternal happiness of your kingdom in heaven. Amen.
I always love seeing the illustrations that your boys come up with for each state. I especially love the light house! Good job to both of them!
