My name is Lisa (obviously ). I've lurked around for a few days and thought I should come in and introduce my self. I've been married to my wonderful husband for almost 10 years. We have 3 active, inquisitive little boys (5, 3, and 1) and they keep me on my toes! This is my first year homeschooling. We are just finishing up our third week and so far it has gone great. I look forward to getting to know everyone. This looks like a great site. Lisa
Lisa, Welcome to the homeschool spot it's a wonderful place to be with alot of wonderful ladies. My name is Kris from Texas I have been homeschooling for 5 years two lovely daughters 13 and 11. I have been married to a wonderful man for 22 year wonderful years. Hope we have many more.
Hi Lisa, WELCOME! Kids grow up so fast! Seems like my oldest was just 5 and now he's 15 and a junior in Highschool! Amazing! That's one of the reasons I love homeschooling--I get be with my children a lot more than if I sent them away to school! Anyway, as Kris said, this is a great place, glad you made it here! This is our 9th year of homeschooling. I have 3 beautiful children: 9-yo dd, almost 13-yo (next month) ds, and 15-yo ds. Kris has me beat in the length of time married. I've been married 18 1/2 years, and dh and I are still sometimes confused as newlyweds!
Welcome Lisa! My name is Patty and I am a homeschool mommy to my 8year old daughter, Emma. As of January 25, my husband and I will be going on our 10th year of marriage. We were not planning on having any children but when we found out that Little Miss. Em's was on her way, we automatically knew we wanted to homeschool. I did not like the public system back when my daughter, now 20, was in it and I do not care for it now. I believe our older daughter was in 5th grade when we were married and I remember her coming home from school and sharing with us all these stories that I could not believe went on in the school and the things that teachers taught. OH!!! Anyways, welcome and hope you enjoy it here. Homeschooling has been a very special part of my life and this site really makes it that much more enjoyable. God bless!!! Patty
Welcome, Lisa! My wonderful kids are 10,8,5, and 2.5. We are in our 3rd year of hs. My dh and I have been married 12 years with many more to come.
Hi, This is my first day here, and I'm glad to have found this site. My name is Kathy and I have 5 kids: a daughter almost 7, twin girls 5 1/2, and twin boys who just turned 2. My husband and I have been married 9 years. We met while we were both living and working in Slovenia. (He's from Macedonia). Looking forward to getting to know all of you!
Big welcome to both of you. (lisa and Kathy) I'm Amy U and I have been married to my hubby for 14 years. We have one son. Who is 11 and we are in our 3rd year of homeschooling. This is a great place I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. And I hope you have a great year!
Thanks everyone, I'm really glad I found this site. I think it's awsome how many people homeschool their children. When I first started thinking of homeschooling my boys, I had no idea there were so many other homeschoolers. I went to my first convention a few months ago, that was really cool. Anyway, it's nice to be part of such a large community. Lisa
Wow Kathy, How'd you end up with TWO sets of twins? That's awesome! Must be kind of hard though? Welcome to the site, I'm glad you're here!
The twins happened naturally, Deena. The doc said after the first set that there's a good chance I'd have them again (I guess because they're fraternal) and lo and behold that's just what happened. He then said there's an even better chance of it repeating! But, I did get pregnant again last November and it was only one baby. Sadly, I lost it in March due to Trisomy 18. It does get tough sometimes because they go through the behavioral stages at the same time. . .and I've learned that boy energy is different from girl energy!! But having built-in playmates has been great!
welcome to both of you I have boy girl twins age 8 and I have 2 others that seam like twins for being so close in age.
Kathy, My twins were a total surprise. One was born and the doctor said it was a girl and I said "good that is what we had hoped for" and then he said the words I will never forget; "what's the other one?" I said, "what do you mean the other one?" and that is when he told me I was having twins. I said, "why didn't you tell me?" and he admitted he hadn't known until one was born. My girls are now 29 and married. It was so much fun watching them grow up, but it was a lot of work. We have friends with two sets like you and her doctor said if she had another it would almost certainly be twins again. She said,"no way!" Welcome to you and to you too Lisa.
