Well it is that time of year again. Time to get the old homeschool back in session. We started on Sept 1. I was very organized this year and had all of the books we needed purchased by the beginning of Aug. Starting school always goes much smoother when you have all the things you need. I can’t believe Emily is in high school now. She is starting 9th grade and the time has just flown by. It seems like just last year we were just starting our adventure in homeschooling and now we her graduation just down the road.
I will be very sad to see her graduate. I love homeschooling and have the kids around all day. I have been able to spend so much more time with them by homeschooling them and it has been so much fun to see them learn. The look they get on their faced when they get it, is just priceless. We have sacrificed a lot in order to do this. There have been no vacations and money has been tight at times. But I would do it all over again. No amount of money and no vacation could ever make up for the time I got to spend each day with my girls. I only wish I could make the twins young again and have a do over with them. LOL!!!
So keep us in your prayers as we venture into another year of school and the first year of high school. I know we will get a lot of flack from those who think my daughter is missing out by not attending regular high school. But that is ok. We know we have been called by the Lord to do this and our kids have benefited from it. To all you other homeschoolers out there, it is my prayer that you will have a graced filled year and that you will grow closer as a family as you share in the many blessings and joys that homeschooling your child will bring.
