June Update
Hi all,
It's been a long time since I posted something and I'm sorry about that. I have made some updates to the sidebar. Our new current reading and past summer reading are now correct. I updated the kids curriculum to what we're using starting in Aug. Our first day of school will be August 4th, 2008. We're currently enjoying a visit from our homeschooling friends that came down from New Jersey to visit us. I will post pictures when I get the chance.

New School Name
Hello all,
We've had a family meeting and after much deliberation we have decided on a new homeschool name. Matt and I spent some time thinking of what our homeschool was about. We also wanted something that could last us through the high school years and something the kids would relate to. One of their favorite characters in movies and books is Fawkes the Phoenix, the beautiful bird of Albus Dumbledore in the book series Harry Potter. Matt and I also liked the idea that the Phoenix is a mythological bird who when at the end of it's lifespan makes a next of cinnamon twigs and then sets fire to them. The bird and nest burn and from the ashes a new phoenix is born. To me this is somewhat sybolic of the way we readjust our homeschool based on the children. We are constantly evaluating and rising from the ashes of the old into the new.
Remember to bookmark our page. We look forward to the wonderful comments we are sure to receive.
