 Mary saw a cupcake at the grociery store that she "had" to get for Zach. It was so cute that she thought of her big brother and wanted to treat him.  Not even one thought was to treat herself.  If that isn't Love At Home, I don't know what is!

Zach and Jacob are such good friends.  They have a special bond between them.  They are buddies.  It's so cute.  While everone else is out playing with friends, Jacob is inside playing with Zach.  And Zach loves having a best friend, a special buddy, and a brother all in one. 

 

Jacob is loving being home.  He's always been a home body.  Never wants to go out much.  And now that he's homeschooling he's so much happier and confindent and thriving with learning.  He loves being home where he knows he's safe, loved, and able to move at his own pace.  

 

I love my boys. I really do.  They are quite a trio. 

OK.  It's done.  The twins are officially done with public school.  The pressure is finally off.  Where do I go from here?  I'm nervous.  Even though I've been preparing for months. It's not the curriculum.  That's the easy part.  Did I make the right decision?  That's the question.  I've done this before w/ all kids, a few years ago.  It was short term because I panicked.  I've been thinking about homeschooling ever since.  And now I'm starting again.  But I'm taking a much slower approach.  I'm starting with the youngest.  And I'll go from there.  I'm taking it one step at a time.  I'm excited. I feel really good about it.  But I'm still nervous.  So far, the twins are on cloud 9.  They love it!
