Back To School

In the spirit of . . . .well . . . . .everybody else,
we wanted to post our "First day back to school photos".

Starting the day fresh and ready to go . . . .

Physical Education . . . . . .


Break between classes . . . . .


And just to reassure you that we haven't dropped the ball . . . .

The curriculum for the year arrived via snail mail.
Yes, all 40+ pounds of textbooks.
(I'm so glad they aren't wearing that on their backs each day!)

As hesitant as we were about this decision to home school while here in Hawaii, I can honestly say we haven't looked back.

Chantelle: Thanks for the positive reinforcement. Some moments I wonder if we can do it all . . . . .
Jennifer - Ha! Being THE PTO - kind of like living vicariously through myself.

Chantelle: You know Jennifer - we have already seen a significant change in Garrett. He is such a different guy without the stress of the school day experience.
And Jana - one week witnessing Hawaii's DOE . . . .you'd do it too! It makes McCool look Ivy League!
