The New White House Agenda

OK, the link I posted earlier regarding the "new" agenda is no longer valid. It appears that information is no longer available for what ever reason.

I did find the White House home page with the new administration's agenda for America. You can take a look for yourself and draw your own conclusions.

I know change is coming - but I have to ask myself, At what price??

We Could Have Danced...All Night

Many folks who don't know much about us home schooling families think our kids are missing out on "socialization." That topic is subject for a separate post. Honestly, I think our kids would miss out on more social opportunities if they went to "real" school.

Every December our home school group offers the Christmas Formal for students to attend. Tickets are bought, tuxedos are rented, and students and parents attend this formal event. Everyone who attends has a blast. This year, the formal was held at the Five Oaks Country Club. Everyone feasted on an Italian buffet. Each senior gave a short speech. Then the DJ cranked up the volume and everyone danced for hours. I am so thankful for the friendships our kids have made while at HCA. Here are some pics.

My Funny Guy

Here's a vintage 1980's photo of my funny guy. Remember acid washed jeans and mile high bangs? It's good to see those we love happy. My resolution for this year is simply to have more fun. Sat night at 9pm, we decided to join the school group on a ski trip to WV (which was departing at 7am Sun morning). We are certainly glad we came. Although money is tight for us right now, this trip was an incredible deal, and worth every penny spent. I will treasure all the smiles on the faces of my kiddos, but especially my man. It has done my heart good to see him relaxed, smiling, and having a good time on the slopes. He really is a funny guy!
