This is making me happy!! I have connected more with local home-school families in order to keep up his interaction with other kids his age, and we are … [Read more...]
Weekend Is Here
A quick post during the weekend. Daddy has the time off and we are enjoying some time with him. G and A had their first class at Early Childhood and loved every minute of it. It was so fun to see them playing with the other kids and learning while they did it. J had some problems at public school. He needs extra help, but isn't getting it the way … [Read more...]
