No Regrets.


OOPS! Now I know how to insert photos, we are in so much trouble! People often ask me why I homeschooled for so many years. The truth is I just plain loved being around my children.  Oh there were lots of other reasons too many to mention, but I really enjoy being around these lovely creatures God has blessed me with.  Now only Aimee is left in our little schoolhouse and I cherish the days we spend together. We joke, spar & tease until we laugh, then we laugh until we cry! She snuggles against my shoulder while we wade through Algebra 1.  She texts me in the other room to come see the hideous outfit the video teacher has on.   She randomly tosses out blonde verbiage from that curly brown head.  I will grieve when she outgrows my little classroom.  Just as I grieved when Desiree left, and Bryan, then Shawna, Gloria & Daniel before her.  We look forward to the moment in our day when we can quit for "recess" and play a fast game of yahtzee!  I enjoy being her mom, her teacher & her friend.  They grow so quickly, there is never enough time. She is such a young lady now, but glimpses of the child still show.

Soo true, she has the funniest personality ever! I'm so glad you let her stay at home and develope it rather than becoming one of those blond drones...even if she does have blond roots :0)
