Life Update From Johnny
New year new school(s)!
New school year bring big changes!
Sixteen
And just like that, we have a new driver. “Just wait until the teenage years” was often said to me with a derogatory tone. It implied that I would only have a few sweet years while my babies turned to children before those dreaded teenage years. I can respectfully respond to that now with a [...]
Our newest teenager
Last month this kid became a teenager. He has grown so much over the past year and I’m not just talking his height, which he likes to remind me has overshadowed my own. This has been such a cool season of opportunity for Boone. We spent last year homeschooling. In addition to his “regular” school [...]
