This week's S&T is a catch up one for me! I've wanted to share a few things but before I know it the weeks gone and then another.

First thing I'd like to share is the accrediation association we joined called T.E.A.C.H. 

I'm not sure that all of you know but our family has had a very challenging 5 years and it looks like it's going to remain challenging and character building for the next 5 years also. So...this was the main reason we decided to join TEACH., we needed to be accountable to someone else during this challenging time. We have an individual consontant who helps us set goals for our family accademically, character wise and spiritually. She then checks with us monthly to see how things are, if we need any help and how we're meeting our goals.

TEACH also keeps Possum's (dd age 14) transcript for High School. Ican't tell you what a relief it is not to have to keep the record my self. I know we could do it but now the pressure is off and I can focus more on what Possum needs and not keeping every little record all be myself. They also plan a graduation ceremony and invite really neat people to speak. Last year it was U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann a great pro-lifer and homeschool advocate. Basically it gives me joy knowing that our kids will have a very special graduation ceremony and that our family is being supported spiritually and academically. Peace of mind...

Secondly I'd like to share a pic from my Dad's birthday celebration. This is the FIRST time we've all been together since Christmas and his accident. See post Jen's Dad. We were all in tears during the prayer and I was just so grateful we could all be together. Here's the pic.
