Welcome to the Adventure

Five years into our homeschooling adventure and we still feel the Lord leading us down this road of simultaneous  miracles and pitfalls. I’ve experienced homeschooling just one child, then two, then added in a fidgeting toddler, several months of mommy sick on the couch, and now we have three schooling and one smiling baby in the boat.  Some days are filled with math epiphanies and writing breakthroughs.  Other days we make it to a nature trail.  Then there are the days we don’t talk about when I just try to make it to a starbucks and leave all the kids in the principal’s office.  Still, I can’t imagine it any other way. We would be a different family, I would be a different person, if we changed the past half decade.  We’ve chosen learning as a part of a bigger world, academics along with a greater book(the Bible), lessons not limited by the boundaries of a school building.
