Sappy post alert!

As we reach the end of our 12th(?) homeschool year, I am sad as usual. I know, not a normal reaction for the end of the school year! To me, it's not a relief that summer is finally here. It just means another year has gone by that I get to spend with my kids, and the clock is ticking. Yes, I know....our goal is to raise them and help them become productive Christians who will lead meaningful lives. But golldurn if it isn't way harder to let go than I ever thought it would be!!!  How did we ever go from this group of small fry, back a few years ago...

I am truly thankful for my children, and for the privilege (it is indeed a privilege, I hope I never forget that!) to raise them and for the time we have together through homeschooling. I love them so much.
