Homeschool Class Pictures 2010: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

August 27, 2010

I’m not sure why it took a homeschool meme last year to make me realize the importance of homeschool class pictures, but now my biggest regret is that we don’t have them for the first 16 years of our homeschool. This is the beginning of year 18 for us and our second year of class [...]

Images I Love from Today

August 20, 2010

Today the kids and I attended Braves’ Homeschool Day at Turner Field. Another post will probably follow, but for tonight I want to show you some images of my youngest that were captured and have smitten me.

And Now We Leave…

August 12, 2010

We drove out of Dallas less than two hours ago, leaving our son behind for his freshman year of college. Truly, this is one of those aspects of parenting that isn’t for cowards. Our oldest has always been in Georgia, an easy drive. It took us two days to get here, and I feel it [...]

Last Saturday, July 24, was Scott Kelby’s 3rd annual Worldwide Photo Walk, which I attended in historic Roswell, GA, on a very hot and humid morning here in the Deep South.

Your Child Needs You to be a Parent (and then you can be a friend)

July 19, 2010

Communicating with teens is not always easy. One of my biggest problems is a tendency to want to project a maturity of thought onto my kids beyond their years, and being dismayed when they don’t achieve it. We’re all a work in progress, and it takes time to get “there,” wherever “there” may be. Unfortunately, [...]

Backyard Baseball

July 18, 2010

Through the kitchen window, I spied three of my boys and four neighbors playing baseball in our yard. The side of our house has been converted into an unofficial baseball field where games are played most sunny summer afternoons. It’s so fancy they’ve added an on deck bench. Not too fancy, actually, but the bench [...]
