This is our final week of school and Friday is graduation! I am so excited about the boys getting their awards for all the hard work this year. I can't wait to celebrate with them and our family all the days and effort we have given to a year of home education.
It has been much more difficult than I would have ever imagined. We have all learned a lot about our family and the inner workings that I'm not sure we would have gotten without home school this year. I have learned a lot about each of the boys individually as well as how we work together in this house. I know more about what makes each one of them tick and what can tick me off the easiest LOL.
We have had "happy thoughts" most of our school days and yes on many we have had "teachable moments". I have loved seeing the gifts (super powers if you're Jonah) that God has given each of the boys. Judah is very independent, he loves to laugh and get laughs out of others. Jonah has a precious, sensitive spirit. He is passionate, artistic, and imaginative. Jacob is always out to excel. He is academically strong and views most everything through a lens of logic and reality. Much more is to be discovered in each of the boys in the many years ahead as well as our little Chloe.
I am very proud of our family for this year. It has been challenging, rewarding, and most of all revealing. I am proud of each of the boys for their accomplishments and determination and quite honestly, I'm pretty pleased with myself for sticking with things, making them as fun and dynamic as I knew how at the time, and remaining sane through kindergarten...even with Judah constantly turning off the modem and standing on our school table.
Thank you to my wonderful husband for allowing me to pursue a long time dream with our family and giving me all the support and understanding that it has taken to complete this adventure for now. I look very forward to always living, loving, and learning as a family no matter what days lie ahead.
