I really only blog for the kids to have something to look back on, sort of like a yearbook. So, here I am, pulling this post together nearly 2 years after the fact.
The 2022 school year started off with a bang. We were barely 4 months into our school year when we were asked to step up for kinship care of our great nephew (4 years old) and nieces (8 y.o. & 3 months). Everything was upside down there for a while. I didn't even remember to take "school" pics this year.
We had our 11th grade daughter, 8th grade
son, oldest great niece in 1st grade, great nephew in pre-k, and the baby was
still taking a bottle every 3 hours. I think we all went on autopilot and were
really just praying and hoping for the best. The littles stayed with us for 3
months and were then pulled into foster care.
Following was the homeschool plan but honestly I can't remember if we made any mid-year changes or what was actually finished. Our daughter took one class as a dual enrollment student and decided she would wait till after high school to continue. I think the stress of having the littles with us played as much a part in her decision as anything else. Oh, she did decide she wants to pursue a career as a paralegal. Our son continued with Civil Air Patrol. Whatever else happened didn't hinder or hurt them since the oldest is headed to college and our son is headed into 10th.
