Updates To The "About" Page
Cam has been encouraging me to participate more in the development of this site so I have been working with him to update the “about” page. The photos and text were two years old. When you have little kids a lot of changes take place in that time span. This last year has been full of developmental milestones for both the boys. After reading The Well-Trained Mind last spring we decided to home school our boys.
They started school this last fall, Sean in first grade and Caleb in Kindergarten. It has been so rewarding for me and feels like such a privilege to be able to watch them absorb new concepts and ideas like little sponges. They are so eager and enthusiastic about learning. There have definitely been challenging moments throughout the year, but overall it has been my absolute pleasure to participate in their education in such a primary way. The idea of home schooling is somewhat daunting before you begin to investigate what resources and curriculums are available. The Well-Trained Mind suggests a lot of really good curriculum options.
Now that I think about it, it’s about time to start looking ahead to next fall and what curriculum we will choose for Sean for the second grade. At some point I’ll post what we have covered this year and my impressions of the curriculum we chose, as well as what we decide to use for next year.

Thanks for the about page update. I look forward to reading what is now your family’s blog every Sunday. I imagine that it will help me be a better parent when I decide to have a family.
