Homeschooling Isn't Always Easy!

The last three weeks have seen many ups and downs. Personal trials, heartache and trials all have to be overcome.

The first issue was Kevin's return home. It is hard to believe how attached you can get to someone in five short weeks. Kevin was our Korean exchange student whose real name was Junwoo. He lived with us for five weeks and fit into our family exceptionally well. The kids already miss him as do the rest of us.

Having Kevin in our home changed our own schedule and habits for the better. Sunday night dinner and games nights came back and the kidslearned many new things like how to eat with chopsticks. We get a new student in a few weeks but none will ever be like our first one.

Issue number two has been me being ill for a few weeks. We aren't sure what's going on here yet but we'll figure it out. We just do school in bed more than at the table! I havebeen really tired but I am dealing with it well and the kids are doing great. It is amazing how independant they are becoming.

Overall we have had some challenges as of late but we are doing ok!
