I'm Here!

I've not fallen off the face of the earth. 

It is turning out to be a busy summer. 

We have summer camps going on 

Scouts.

Art.

Music.

Some of us are doing some remedial school work. 

Fractions.

Writing 

Reading. 

Whatever it takes!

As a family, we usually take vacations in the fall. 

It works great because crowds are down as are the temperatures.

It is one of the perks of home schooling. 

We are still loving home schooling and plan on doing it again next school year.  

We belong to a home schooling co-op which is helpful. 

Plus, in our state  kids can start college courses as early as 9th grade. 

(And the state pays for it. Score!) 

So Judson will be doing that when he enters 9th grade. 

Until then he is allowed to take high school classes in the co-op. 

This upcoming year he is taking pre-calculus, physics, and Spanish. 

(Not an option in public school)

He will also be doing piano and drama. 

Ansley will be taking some academic classes too

Turner will be doing Drama and Chorale. 

Sawyer will be staying at home with me. 

We are trying to get him caught up from all that he missed during his chemo. 

We have taken grief from some who do not understand home schooling.  

But it works for us. 

So we keep doing it. 

When it ceases to work for us, we will choose a different route. 

God bless this country and our right to make such decisions. 

Enjoy your summer.
(Seems like I wrote this same blog post last summer.
At least I'm consistent.)
