We've Got The Ball Rolling

Well, we've made the decision to homeschool Emma next year.  I have spoken with a few moms who are homeschooling 3-5 at once.  Praise God...they are awesome!  I didn't think Mike was going to go for it, but then he had listened to the pros and cons I had written up and I told him I would let him make the decision whether or not we do it and he had agreed...again Praise God!  The more we talk to Emma about it, the more excited she is getting.  I think she is just liking the fact she can do school work in her pajamas while drinking cocoa lol.  I like that we can start earlier, not have to worry about snow days eating up Summer vacation, I can teach her from a faith based stand point and there are so many other plus points!  Not to mention the bond she and I are going to have when this is all said and done. 

God is bringing me down this path and I am so happy about it.  He brought us to a new church that we absolutely love.  We felt so welcome there right off the bat.  We have so many blessings to be thankful for!  A roof over our heads, food in the kitchen, clothes on our backs, we have God and each other.  Yes, financially it is going to be rough at first, but wow think of all that I will be able to teach her!  I've already begun to prep for being frugal and whatnot.  I trust and believe God will be with us and will guide us the way we should train Emma as she grows.

I love being able to have this opportunity with her.  She is my heart and soul, God's perfect little gift to me.  Perfect not in the sense that she never does wrong, but from a child's stand point and how they view the world.  Again, I can't say it enough, I am so thankful for all of the blessings God has given us.
