A New Year Begins: 2012-2013

Today is the first day of our 2012-2013 homeschool year!

I never thought I would be homeschooling this long. My husband has been a great supporter of ME, but the homeschooling idea has been difficult for him these last five years. The kids are amazing, bright, and oh so happy. Homeschooling is definitely the right choice for us. Anyway, my "babies" are now in 2nd grade and 4th grade. I can't believe it! Look for links in the sidebar.
