Time flies when you forget what you are doing!

Wow, I utterly forgot that I had started a home school blog. No time like the present to pick it back up again.
We have had many changes in our home school since February. Luke went back to public high school half time this semester so he could be eligible for sports. This has not gone as well
as we had hoped but are thankful for the lessons learned from the experience. At least in his case it seems that it is necessary to commit to one path or the other and to try to do both 50 % did not equal a 100% educational experience. He appreciates that I allowed him another go at public school but is now looking forward to coming back to home school life.
Another change was moving across the state to eastern Nebraska. We joined a home school program Classical Conversations. Laramie is in the ''Foundations'' class. We meet once per week. The program is great as it leaves the responsibility of homeschooling on the parent but adds the benefits of a wonderful curriculum, fellowship with like minded homeschooling parents, accountability and support. Each week new topics are introduced in the history,science,math and fine arts categories. The rest of the week the parents expand on those subjects and work on memorization skills according to age and ability level. While we are just eight weeks into the program we are very impressed with it thus far.
We are not sure if Luke will join us for in Classical Conversations or complete the curriculum that he has been in. I am leaving that decision up to him.
I have so much to say about our home school experiences. I will try not to be so neglectful in my posting of it.
