settling into a routine that works

Well,
I reckon everyone has been schoolin' for
at least a week or more by now, right?

How's it going?
Are you feeling that your routine is set yet?

For us,
even though we started early in August,
we didn't get near as much done as I
had hoped in order to compensate for our time off
while we are in China.
So....my students will be doing some
work while we are gone.
Much to their chagrin.

And just as I feel like our routine is getting,
well, routine....it's all about to change
with our newest child joining our family.

So...our subject for this post is,

What is your routine?
I'd love to hear what time you start
each day,
and what time you finish.

Also....
if anyone has any great advice for me
as we are welcoming our 13 year old into
our happy(ish) homeschool,
I'd love to hear it.
She is 13 and VERY SMART,
so I'm told.
Any advice on curriculum or
what the first few weeks and months
should look like (school-wise) with a newly adopted child,
that would be great!
