Sweetie and I love Vivaldi! Buddy is still partial to Bach. :D

How are you liking Rosetta Stone? I can't decide if I should buy it or not... in Mandarin, that is.

Oh! Did you all join Sons of Norway? Just curious...

Rosetta Stone is going ok- Taking it very very slow- Ry isn't liking it too well- gets stressed about it.. The program itself I like- The homeschool edition is put together really nicely.

The lady from Sons of Norway never emailed or called me back.. It is on my to do list to call back but just haven't done it yet...
