Today marks my 12th year of homeschooling! Jamie was in in 7th, Robin-5th, Kimberly-1st and Jonathan-PreK and Kaitlin was 2.

Now Jamie is 25, starting her 4th year of teaching. Robin has graduated from college and working as a graphic designer. Kimberly is beginning her Sophomore year in college, getting her degree in Math Education. Jonathan is a Senior and Kaitlin is a Sophomore in high school. Ryan, last but not least, is the last one at home homeschooling. He was excited about the first day of school and day one was a success. We pray the year will continue in the same manner of great attitudes and a desire to learn! :) We will be partnering up with another homeschool family. Two days a week, Ryan will school with them and two days a week, Gunter will school with us. We have done this for 3 years and the boys love it. This gives the moms an opportunity to work part-time, keeps us on a schedule, and the boys will enjoy doing History, Science and Language together (and of course, "recess").

There were so many thoughtful, deep things that I thought of to say as I read your post. All the thoughts, insight, warm fuzzy feelings, sweet homeschool memories, went out the window when I got a look at that ugly cat/dog thing laying on that pillow! That has got to be the ugliest thing I've ever seen! Sorry Rob! :)
ReplyDeleteRyan's a little cutie however! Work hard, Bud!
I enjoyed reading where all your kiddos are. Neat post. Your kids are beautiful!
