Most of you know that we started homeschooling this year. We have a large group of homeschooling families in the area that puts different things together for homeschool families. All the way from play dates, chess club, study groups, class parties for Valentines day etc. to graduation ceremonies. So thankful that my friend Dana got me to join. The girls have enjoyed the outings, meeting other homeschool families, etc.We had practice the day before at the church in Magnolia. We all enjoyed a picnic on the grounds where I had the pleasure of meeting a new friend Anne. Anne came right to my table introduced herself and all 9 of her kids. Can you imagine. They were such a happy family and her only 2 daughters (so yes...7 boys) happily played with my two. We enjoyed their company so much that we invited them to our birthday party coming up!
The next day we celebrated graduation. It was a great ceremony. The kids sang 3 songs as a choir, then each parent was able to go on stage, call their child's name and say something to their child and then hand them a diploma. Delaney didn't show her usual nerves at all. She was sooo proud of herself. She smiled, sang louder than almost all of them and just shocked us all with her ability to stand in front of everyone on stage by herself and not hide behind me, like she usually does!

That makes me want to cry! I guess both out of joy and sadness. She's getting so big, yet it makes other graduations seem so close! You have such a beautiful family; thank you for being a part of ours!
