Is It Summer Yet? New seasons of life don't always fall in line with the calender.
We are a homeschool family. One of the many perks of this was having more freedom with our schedule. I would give longer holiday breaks when the children were younger and do a little refresher in the summer once in a while so we didn't lose any learning. We took vacations offseason and would take off on the prettiest sunny days instead of snow days. Then... I know this is a mess to look at, but this is what school often looked like at our house. I miss this in many ways. Well... With adult and high school age children, things get complicated. We have to coordinate around college terms, co-op schedules, and activities. Add in regular visits to doctors and we have become slaves to the calendar. How did this happen? Now Even a family vacation including all five of us is difficult now, but not impossible. Now we snatch every moment together like precious jewels of time. The blessing of new freedoms and growth are welcome....
