A Blogging we will go . . .
Well, let's see how this turns out! I started another blog earlier in the year--I think I posted twice and then had a baby! Seems I got kinda busy after that. Not that I am any less busy--but let's just say that things have settled in here at the ranch.
Our family now complete, we are happily living and loving our days! The local public schools have started up again, which means Ryan and Garrett leave us for 6 hours each day to go to a very Un-joyful place. They wish that weren't so. Garrett especially, as he asked us specifically if he could be homeschooled AND if we would ask his mom for him (he had already asked her with not so great results). So we championed his cause! And we are still waiting for a reply. . . ah well. It tis what it tis. The best we can do now is support the boys within that space. Simply put, we honor the decisions they choose to make while they are there, and be their voices where the system wouldn't otherwise allow.
The return of the ps year also means that we get to take back the wonderful joyful places we love to go: the parks, museums, libraries, YMCA, etc. etc. And Jonah, Elijah, and (soon) Meredith have the run of these places! With other homeschooly kids too! YAY!
In any case, welcome to our happy joyful Blog!

I love the connection between yourselves, and the world around you. I love your realization of parenting, that sometimes you "just have to get out of the kids way". And especially, we love you. Jeanne
ps.. I`m sure you have already read it, but if not, check out "the Profit" (Kalil Gibran)
Thanks Jeanne! If nothing else taking an unschooling path has truly helped us to be better parents--honoring our children naturally--and their lovely place in this world.
I do have and have read "The Profit"! It is wonderful!
