No, we aren't 'giving up' and going on to other schooling options. It is simply time to come to terms with all good things that must come to an end really do. Yes, we will graduate our last child AS a homeschooled student, but the fact that she is the last one has me thinking of the end of an era. The Miller Family Home School Era as it rushes to an end.

Facing the end of homeschooling is quite a sobering experience for me. It was with great enthusiasm and conviction that I left my decade long career to stay home and educate our three children from third grade on through high school. Each year was an exciting and invigorating opportunity to boldly go where we had not gone before and embrace all that God had in store to teach both me as teacher and our children as students.

Our homeschooling time has passed so quickly that it's almost mind-numbing to think that in a little more than one year, there will be no more homeschoolers in our house! We must not leap too far ahead! We must not cave to marking off the days left on the calendar! We must rise to the occasion of schooling the lone, remaining, single student and enjoying the year to come, without the cloud of imminent conclusion looming overhead.

After all....there’s always still the potential of the grandkids!
