{Big Breath} I checked the girls out of school officially this morning. The sentimental side of me wanted to hug the secretary when I left, but I got a squeeze in with the music teacher who is a friend of mine anyways.
With all of our supplies heaped on the kitchen table we dived into our studies this morning. I'm still not sure which method or curriculum (if any) our family will adopt but I feel confident that we will eventually get things all figured out.
The support I am getting from bloggy friends and IRL friends and family has been encouraging. I'm sure many people disapprove of our choice but so far all of them have kept their doubts and skepticism to themselves. I appreciate that because from moment to moment my faith in myself is shaky. But my love for my kids and my desire for them to become bright, happy, healthy, family-oriented, faith-filled adults is steady and sure and that is what I am clinging to right now.

DO NOT worry. Even if you do nothing more thsn life with them, they will learn and flourish. I think that is actually how God intended for families to educate thier young from the get go. (No hate mail please, I have homeschoolers and public schoolers.)
Hey girlie, I think I failed to comment yesterday but I've been meaning to because I'm SO STINKIN' EXCITED for you and your children. You've made a faith-based decision using your instincts and you went with it...even in the face of possible ridicule. Relax and enjoy the ride. Children can't help but to learn, it's in their nature. So follow their lead whenever you can and amazing doors will be opened wide. You don't have to home school like that family or that family or even my family.
SNUGGLES!!
They are your children and who says there is one way to raise them. I believe what ever works for you, it should be done. Good luck and you will do awsome!
I applaud you for doing what is right for your family. I think I would kill my kids if I had to home school them. I couldn't do it and I admire you for having the patience, tenacity, and will to do it. Good for you!
