A little bit about us

A little bit about us...

We're a homeschooling family of seven from North Texas. 

We're Lutheran (LCMS).

Our oldest two children are in college and working towards careers in medicine.   

We're currently homeschooling our remaining three children, ages 15, 13 and 5. 

Our oldest two children started in public school in 2007/2008.  We pulled them from school, because they weren't thriving.  The oldest went to Kindergarten and 1st grade.  The second went to a half-day Kindergarten.  Both were having issues.  The oldest was having severe sensory issues and anxiety.  Right before we pulled her from school, she tested as gifted.  The second oldest developed anxiety and low self-esteem.  He was also behind the rest of the class in terms of reading.  By the end of his Kindergarten year, the rest of the class was reading and he still didn't know his letter sounds.  So, we pulled both of them out of school together.

Kids #3, 4 and 5 have never been to school.
