I'm super excited about this coming year and the journey we are getting ready to undertake. Lest anyone be concerned about the dreaded "socialization", rest assured that I'm not going to be keeping these kids in a bubble. They will be playing sports this fall, and I'm looking for a homeschool group to meet up with. I just know that I can be my children's best teacher - heck, who knows them better than Chris and I do? :-)
