You know you’re a homeschooler when…

You receive a package in the mail that contains a new dictionary and your child responds: “OOOOOHHHHH COOOOOOOOL!!!” Yes, yesterday we received our brand new Webster’s 1828 Dictionary via UPS. We were both very excited. My daughter immediately had to show it to her cousin (they were doing a video chat) as she thought it was really cool. As soon as she was done chatting with her cousin, she took the dictionary to my room and started looking through it.

Thankful Thursday: Support

Posted in Family

” And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13 I have spent more time alone this week than I have in a while.
