I finally did it!

So, I finally did it....I'm homeschooling :) I'm a little late in sharing this info since I actually took them out of school in March. But, I am so happy I finally took the step to do it. I've wanted to do it forever it seems. I've never been comfortable putting my kids in public schools and knew that I also could never have afforded to put them in private school either. It took much thought, prayer and talks with my husband. We had had enough of the long h0urs of working on homework, seeing the stress from my oldest son, Andrew, who is in 4th grade, and dealing with the stress that I began seeing him have. I didn't think it was fair to make him go through all that because I was afraid. So the first week in March, I walked into their school and filled out the withdraw papers and filed the necessary paperwork with the BOE . It was such a big relief, for them and me. I now have all five at home and its wonderful! There's Andrew who will be starting 5th, Haley who has a few learning problems that we are working on who will be continuing 1st and Joshua starting Kindergarten. And of course there's Jacob who will turn 4 in September that I'll begin letters and numbers with. We are on summer break now and will pick up where we left off in August. I am looking forward to this time in their lives where I can be the one to teach them about God and his creation and all that he has for them :)
