HELLO, Friday! And it is the end of our third week of school. Ah, what a nice closure to the end of the school week. The boys and I did our school work this morning. I can truly say that I love being with my children and teaching them. It brings me great joy. It also allows me to know them better than anyone else knows them. Most of all I am allowed to teach them what I want to teach them in the way that I want to teach them.
Many years ago, the way children learned was from their parents. Somehow, we got away from that way of teaching. While I know that not every family can homeschool, I do know that it has been the best for my family. We started homeschooling 10 years ago when we had 3 children. Now, that we have doubled the number of students in our school, I am so content with my life. Even when I know that I have a 4-yr-old and have a long time left in this journey of teaching at home, I would not want to be doing anything else.
During the past ten years, our family has grown, and we have said good-bye to family. I am so glad my children had the chance to get to know my grandparents well. We miss them both so much. I am glad my children have had the time to see my in laws. Both of my in laws are very ill, and I am glad that we have had the time to help them when we could.
Hi Tami. I met you at the conference a couple of weeks ago. My friend Char and I helped you set up. I know what you mean about feeling so blessed to be able to be with your kids and know that they are learning. I feel so thankful everyday that I get to share in this journey with my sweet boy. Peace, dory
Hi, Dory, Thanks for helping me at the conference. I was so glad to have some extra hands getting everything carried up to the booth. I hope you enjoyed the conference. So nice to hear how others enjoy this time with their children, too.
