It was bittersweet to wrap up our first year of homeschooling! I can't believe that we have an entire year's worth of curriculum under our belt! When we made the decision last year to pull the kids out of school and begin this crazy journey the Lord was taking us on - it felt a little like blindly jumping off a cliff. But God is so faithful! More than ever I am convinced that education and discipleship go hand in hand, and I have already seen so much fruit come to bear in our home. Several individuals have questioned whether or not we will continue to home school considering the arrival of Zack this summer; but I am more confident than ever that this is what the Lord has for us. We have chosen this method of education out of joyful obedience, rather than out of convenience or ease.
There's a lot of freedom in this method of education - we can easily schedule school around and in and through where God is already at work in our lives and in our home. We are eagerly anticipating the start of our next "school year" on Monday {Blane's official Kindergarten year!} and we will work up to Zack's arrival in late July. Then we will take our "summer break" late Summer/early Fall to allow for us all to enjoy and get to know our new baby!

I have a kindergartener. He grows too fast. I am soaking up every moment with these three; because they are in my care for such a very, very short time….
