First Day of Co-Op 2024!

Sadie was so excited for the first day of homeschool co-op this year!

If anyone is new here, we’re part of a homeschool co-op that meets once a week. There are a little over 30 homeschooled kids who meet up for a day of learning together. It’s a pretty structured program, which is wonderful! Sadie is studying Zoology this year and also learning about Pennsylvania history, art, music, health, and taking a gym class. (more…)

She asked who it was and I pointed at each figure and said “This is Dad, this is Mom, this is Sadie, this is Decky, and this is the baby we’re going to have.”

She immediately smiled so hard and then hugged me. Jimmy was able to get a quick video of the special moment!
