Time to Celebrate!

 

We did it!  Today is a day of celebration.

Today was the official last day to our first year of homeschooling.  Our kindergartner is now a 1st grader!

This year started out great.  Then we had some bumps in the road that we had to deal with (mom thinking like an institutionalized educated person and needing to get "out of the box", attitudes, morning sickness, and being rained-in the house for the last month).  Thankfully, all members of our homeschool team stepped up with encouragement and help when we needed it.  And we did it.

Yes, that's right.  I included morning sickness as one of our problems.  To say that I have been "under-the-weather" for the last couple of months would be a huge understatement.  We found out in March that baby #4 will be joining us this fall!  And pretty much ever since, this baby has made me sicker than I thought a pregnant lady could be (and yes, hyperemesis gravidarum is a real thing!).  I would have blogged sooner, but did you really want to read posts by a miserable pregnant lady?  Didn't think so.

I feel like there's so much to say about what's happened over the course of our last few months, but that can wait.  Today is a day to celebrate and be thankful for the successful end of a first school year and the successful end to a hard first trimester! Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us.  And we give our ultimate thanks to God who has been carrying us along!
