The Wrights in Photos

every two years we splurge on using our favorite photographer, lindsey turner, to capture some family pictures. we always plan this for may as it is within a month or two of all the kids birthdays, hence we manage to chronicle pictures of them at specific ages.
this year we had the special privilege of heading out to a buttercup field of these photos! it sure was a lot of fun and i think we got some keepers:)

Three Oaks Academy....it's no walk in the park!


me: "james...do you think you are ready to start kindergarten with me next year?"
ben david: "you might want to stay in preschool james...mom gets kind of crabby when you don't do your letter a's right. she will make you erase them a thousand times." 
yep....that is how we roll here at three oaks academy!!:)

here's to our first year of homeschooling completed!! somehow the year has come and gone with no posts on this endeavor. all in all...a sweet, memorable, exciting year of teaching primarily ben david with a little of james and caroline in the mix. there is nothing quite like teaching your child to read. while homeschooling can be trying, exhausting, and overwhelming...it is also a way to stop time. to reclaim your kids for a bit longer, to relish watching them learn new things.
so never fear...a homeschool post will appear soon...i have one in the mix....stay tuned...
