It All Starts Today

Welcome to my brand new blog!

Today is the first official day of our 2010/2011 homeschool year. We never really ended our 2009/2010 school year since we have been schooling off and on all summer, but I have decided to make today the official beginning of the new school year. And with that beginning, comes this new blog. I want to do a better job of recording all we do in our homeschool. This will be my place to journal our successes and our failures, and hopefully it will also be a photographic journal of the projects we do, field trips we take, and just the every day journey of school and life.

Who We Are

The purpose of this blog is simply to record and share our journey as a home schooling family. We are a home schooling family because we believe it is the life God has called us to and this is the place where I will unashamedly share the joys and struggles, the good days and the not so good days when I want to run away from home. Here I will record the little things we want to remember and maybe even some things we want to forget.

The blog names of our students aren't their real names ... I chose them based on some of their favorite characters from the books we have read. Laura, of course, comes from Laura Ingalls Wilder. Davy is taken from the story of Davy Crockett. Unfortunately, the little guy's favorite book is The Cat in the Hat. Good book, but I don't really want to call him Thing 2. Instead, I am opting for Gilligan ~ his favorite TV show.
