This has been a proud week for us. I think I forget sometimes that one of the important purposes of our homeschooling is to raise kids who love Jesus and can function in our world which is full of people who do not. This can be accomplished through school at home or through regular school. Some of you who read my blog know that we have two children in a local Christian school. One was in second grade this year and the other was in K5.
If I had to do it over again there are times I wish I’d kept our K5er home. I think a full day was too much for him. A half day program would have been better. But we persevered (which was very hard) and he graduated, complete with cap and gown, last night. It was one of those few sweet moments in parenthood when your heart just bursts with pride over your child’s accomplishments.
Both children that were in school this year will be at home next year. Our son who was in K5 is ready to be home but our rising 3rd grader wants to go back to school. I’m praying very hard that God would change his heart towards next year. I’ve felt that the Lord wants them home for this coming year.
So here’s a few pictures from last night. One I tried to snap of the entire family since we were looking so dapper and several of our
all A’s Graduate!
(yep grandparents you can be proud of your next to the littlest!)
(Can I also add as a side note that taking photos inside a building is horrible. I don’t know how you guys who take wedding photos do it. I don’t think I ever got the lighting correct! Then we went outside and it just got worse because I had 4 people waiting for me in the car and didn’t get to change any camera settings.)
I think the pics look great!
Praying that all works our for HIS best for your family in the fall!
What an official looking graduation. Have a great summer!
You did a good job! Yes, it is pretty hard to take pictures inside. Even with a flash mounted, it is hard to get the lighting right. Higher end cameras have a lot better performance at high ISO's though. I covet them. 😉
Congrats on your kids' accomplishments, too!

Lighting can be so tricky. What a handsome graduate and beautiful family. 🙂
I pray God moves on his heart for this fall.
I read about the idea on a Works For Me Wednesday post and thought it was a great idea to keep things out of reach plus I can work on it in small snippets here and there. 🙂
I just bought a book that has some layouts in it plus I have other books and magazines. I'd like to learn how to do some digital scrapbooking, but I think I'd mostly like the hands on fiddling. 🙂
