I can’t believe it has almost been a year since I last posted. This past year has been a rollercoaster. Sierra’s last day of school was today. I am pondering this crazy year on my back porch under a golden moon. This year has been ridiculous and amazingly transformative. I homeschooled the boys for the last year. I have become a more confident teacher. I am excited for next year. I know I am going to see tremendous growth in James and Ashton. I can’t believe Sierra will be in 11th grade. She has grown up so much and I am so proud of the woman she is becoming. She is responsible, she works hard and she is good. Madison is becoming more solid and courageous. I love all of my sweet children.
I wish I could convey in words how much I have learned about educating a child. I try to explain to my family and friends but they don’t understand because they have not been on this journey with me. James has been a difficult child to teach. He is sweet and he works hard and for that I am eternally grateful but I feel as though I am trying to reprogram his brain and his brain does not want to be reprogrammed. I feel like it is one step forward and ten steps back every day. However, I have witnessed the miraculous power of faith. The combination of prayer and hard work can move mountains
