Flashback Friday-My Brother

Posted on August 8, 2008 by

My only brother will be celebrating a birthday tomorrow. I wrote more specifically about him last year.

Bragging

Posted on August 7, 2008 by

Back to Homeschool 2008

Posted on August 4, 2008 by

Today marks the first official day of our school year.  I have to admit while we usually school throughout the summer to some extent, the past few months have been such a flurry of other activity that not a whole lot of formal education went on.  I am looking forward to getting into some kind of routine.  For this week I have decided to just stick with the basics of Math, English, Science, and History … Continue reading →
