Children - Brian is 10 years old and his favorite color is green. Lilly is 8 years old and her favorite color is pink. Heidi is 7 years old and her favorite colors are pink and purple. Audrey is 4 years old and her favorite color is yellow. Aaron just turned 1 August 31. Miles is 20 and attends Chattanooga State and Joshua is 17 and is a student at Collegedale Academy.
Homeschooling has been a gradual process. I would say we started at birth 10 years ago. But we worked with Miles and Joshua at home even before that.
Love about homeschooling - I love being with my children and learning with them. I love the close family we have and the real socialization process. They interact with all types of people. Being able to take vacations at non peak times. We like shopping for great books and going to the library.
Hate about homeschooling - NOT ENOUGH TIME! Distractions and clutter. Both the Grandmothers and two Aunts are shop aholics, Grandpa is an auction addict, and Daddy is a packrat. I declutter our home and send stuff to the Samaratin Center and missions. If I am not decluttering or teaching or cleaning (which is never)I would love to work on our family albums, photography, cross stitch, crafts, cook, read, hike and be outdoors.
Pets - Our dogs name is Paddle. We would like to have chickens and Nubian goats. The children want a cat and a puppy and a hamster.
Color - I like all colors. Our home is decorated mainly in blue with lots of flower colors. Red is my favorite color to wear.
Homeschool style - Our homeschool style is a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
