Lately, I have joined a few new homeschooling groups online. And, I noticed I am finding myself introducing our family on somewhat on a regular basis. So, I thought I would write up an introduction and post it to our blog to kill 2 birds with one stone: My Introduction & a link to our Family Blog. :)
I am sure things will change as life progresses and then I'll need to make updates. Until then...
Introduction:
(Sorry for the repeat, for those of you who have already heard my story)
We are a homeschool family that follows and teaches by the Thomas Jefferson Educational methods; a Leadership Education. We collect and read a lot of classic literature together. We enjoy hiking, camping and rockclimbing in the great outdoors. We have recently become more knowledgeable in canning and preserving and have plans for a box-garden to grow our own fruits and vegetables. We are currently working on the structural plans of a chicken coop to house 6 hens, which we plan to make in our woodshop-converted portion of our garage. (UPDATE: we finished our chickie's coop and our hens are laying on average 4-6 fresh eggs per day. Yum!)
We recently have been enjoying beautifying our new home, which we have lived in a full year this past July 2012.
We consider our family to be a 'Posse' and currently have 8 (now 9) Deputies:
~ 19-year-old son with Autism (more specifically, Asperger's Syndrome) who enjoys reading fantasies, acting and drawing;
~ 12 year old son (soon to be 13) who is deep into the military and hunting (he was drawn for & went on his first elk this year);
~ 9 year-old daughter that loves to draw, write, dance & sing and who I believe is part fish during the warmer months of the year;
~ 7 year-old son who has just become highly interested in archery and one day has plans on building his own hot-rod right before he joins the military;
~ 6 year-old son who knows he will someday be an engineer & fly his own plane, right after he is a farmer of course;
~ 4 year-old daughter that not only inspires to draw like her big sister but shows a keen interest in beauty and fashion (more specifically mom's makeup & shoes);
~ 2 year-old son that loves mud, cars, tractors & trains (oh and don't forget milk!);
~ our son, born in Sept 2011 who awaits us in heaven;
~ and last but not least, our newborn daughter, our 'rainbow' baby, who joined us in October :)
I am sure things will change as life progresses and then I'll need to make updates. Until then...
