Final update...

I was very remiss in keeping this updated. My (now adult) children completed their middle school years in our homeschool, went on to do high school in a parochial high school, and are both currently in university, having obtained entrance scholarships, and have been reasonably successful. On contemplation, I wish that we had started homeschooling earlier, as it was a really fantastic bonding experience between my children and myself, and offered a flexibility and freedom that was not offered in traditional public or private schools. But the past is the past. I am grateful for the homeschooling time I did have with them. I am glad they went on to pursue post-secondary education. I am glad that I have such wonderful children, and am thankful they did not give me a lot of trouble growing up. They are great kids, and I love them without condition, and am proud of them for doing their best and growing into moral, kind and learned adults. Best wishes to all homeschoolers and would be homeschoolers out there. Best wishes to all parents out there- be aware of how quickly time passes, and make the effort to spend it with your kids. Love them, teach them, share their early life with them, and most of all, enjoy them. As this will be my last post in this blog... “Farewell," they cried, "Wherever you fare till your eyries receive you at the journey's end!"
