Last week, I posted about the questions I’ve been getting lately having to do with surviving the homeschooling life. It occurs to me now that while I addressed some difficulties that come with homeschooling and how to handle them, I should also remind those newer to homeschooling of all the advantages of this lifestyle.

Frosty Weather

First we had fog, then snow, then it got colder. The result was that everything got this cool frozen fuzzy look, as though Frozone had dropped by and left his mark. Looks awesome, but I’m still ready for spring to get here. š

Red Amaryllis
My husband bought me an amaryllis bulbĀ kit for Christmas. We’ve really enjoyed watching the plant grow the past few weeks. The red looks so pretty against the snow.
God is Looking Out for Edgar
While reading the Sunday paper I was tickled to find this article, which describes one of the oldest living men with Down syndrome and how he became part of a vibrant young family whose members now adore him.
Lately my husband and I have been discussing special needs trusts. Thinking about what could happen in the future is especially hard for those of us who have children with special needs. Stories like Edgar’s are reassuring, because they remind us that God will look out for our children even after we’re gone. I love this story!
