Spring Break is Over, Time to get back to work

We've had a lot of time off it seems lately and a few things left out of our schooling.

It will help that dd has played some of these songs for years on piano! LOL

DS is really coming along in his reading and academic work. We still have our days but things are definitely better. I'm really proud of him.
