I love that you home school. We have a little guy with Spina Bifida and I have thought that home schooling might be a great alternative if things didn't go smoothly enough. So far so good though in mainstream elementary school. He loves going and is not getting teased by any peers for still being in diapers! yipee...it's the little things that make me go yipee!
Happy Blog-a-thon day!!

I've been super busy this past week with a death in the family, (my mother-in-law who I moved her to take care of this past year), a new birth (as you know, I'm a grandma) and my youngest turning 11. (today)
I miss blogging but haven't found the time and have been just too tired. Stopped by to see if anything new was happening with you.
