An adventure underway ~

"Hello Blog...its been a while..."

(sung to the song: "Hello, World by Lady A)

Its not because we've been lazy over here

that this blog has taken a back seat.

It also isn't because I'm "just not that into it" either...

I've missed my personal space here,

and know that now more than ever I may need it.

You see, we've embarked on a journey that

started in July with this post.

I have just finished our 2nd week and

am oh-so encouraged that we have

made the right choice for our family

to homeschool our girl.

Late last spring and throughout the summer

we transformed our 'spare bedroom'

into our school room.

I know it isn't required or necessary to have 

such a space when homeschooling but

far be it from me to waste an opportunity to redecorate.

My husband is the best at obliging me in such whims.

The curriculum we have chosen is

fabulous, the hours we spend schooling

are so well spent, and we do not rush through anything.

About every Friday we will be in a school-setting

(called Friday School...go figure)

where we interact with many other families

who have made the same choice we have.

At Friday School, our kids learn 

science, art, physical education & music.

All taught by mom's with a heart to homeschool.

This school offers field trips, park days and

many other extra curricular activities.

Our weekends have been filled with

soccer games and rehearsal for

the TESOCAL production of

Seussical the Musical.

It has been a great summer and early

fall of growth.  Our family is in a great groove

right now - and while I know we have

some growing pains that are imminent, I will soak

up each and every peacefully happy moment I can!

It won't be so long until my next post - 

While I may not have all the same time I used to

to comment on your posts, I will do my

best to get around to as many as I can

with the time allotted...

I always love hearing from you - I've missed you SO!
