Okay baby woke up and needed a hug.
Momof2n2 -It sounds like its been a challenging year.It think its great that your husband has been able to jump in with HOD and take over the lessons.That is some awesome teamwork.
Mamam23bearcubs.Its great to have you back.I couldnt get your blog link working-I think I will try to maually paste it in.I can imagine that homeschooling ,no change that parenting when your husband is off serving his counrty is tough.I hope to do LHTH with you in the fall :D
Holly NNV.You have me keen to try bigger when the time comes[and your description of 'do we haaaaave to ' made me smile :D
Kay I have to agree I love the open and Go style homeschooling.
Florence -Meeting everyones needs is no easy challenge.
Amy-Thankyou for these words

There were some bad moments of tears and time-outs when I would look to the materials as failing, and that was SO NOT IT. We had to slow down and look at some heart issues, for both of us, to work out. When I focused on the heart, things smoothed out and the wonderful materials from HoD again proved to be a perfect fit for us.
Laurie- Andy wanting to get baptised is an amazing testimony to HOD and I am so very happy for you.I look forward to sharing beyond with you in the fall

Oh Sam,

You are such an encourager. It has been a tough year, but I am so thankful that the Lord brought me to HOD before I knew it was going to be hard. Not only did the scheduled instructors guide help me, but INCREDIBLE, SWEET, PRECIOUS women like you bring such JOY to my heart! Thank you for bringing a huge smile to my face :D
