Hi! So nice to meet you all!
I'm a 38 year old mother of 2 & expecting our third in May. I'm married to a wonderful man with whom I love to converse.
Our daughter is 5.5 - super verbal & full of questions. Her memory astounds me. Our son is 3.5 - he's active, coordinated & wise beyond his years. Has a grasp of how things work (physically) that could only have come from his father. Baby-on-the-way is @ 25w1d gestation & is of undetermined gender - I can't wait to meet the little one & see which way the household balance will tip.
I tell people I wanted to homeschool before I was sure I wanted kids. It's still been an intimidating prospect but I love it. I can't wait to try Latin as it's something I always wanted to learn. I am currently stressing about next fall when dd will be ready for some 2nd grade material, I plan to start a more regular schedule of preschool w/ ds and baby will be around 5 months old.
We have a sweet 10 year old dobermut with bad knees. We've never owned a TV. We're not religous people. We have a strong commitment to living a moral life & following a personal philosophy honestly. I like to garden, I used to paint, I love making lists. He can fix almost everything, used to write (and will again:)) and loves technical design done right. I'd like to say I decorate w/ books, but honestly, it's more like clutter. We are in the 4th year of drownding in--- oops, I meant restoring our 1875/1940's fixer-upper here in our micro-climate known as Slug Hollow.
You guys are wonderful - I've really enjoyed reading you & am already regretting that I won't be able to keep up w/ all the fun discussions!

I just have to point out the irony of homeschoolers recounting their school/stress dreams. :D Yes, I have them, too!

I made an abbreviated list. My 888 is more like a 448...
I don't get a lot of time to read, especially since I dislike being interrupted. My good book time is before bed, but pregnancy is knocking me out early these days. :)
I've finished one so far.

Just a couple of little girls. :)
- that's a good one! :) I guess I can say I'm growing a baby!
I have vowed at least 10 times that I will not start planting too early this year. I did try wintersowing for the first time last year, but haven't thought about it yet this year.

I am, too! Nice to meet you. :)

Also started reading A History of the Ancient World Just now catching up w/ where we are in SOTW.
Looking forward to Antony and Cleopatra - the long awaited latest in Colleen McCullough's Masters of Rome series.
Oh, also Little House on the Prarie before bedtime.
Great thread - so many ideas!

Me too, I started a thread to say hello this morning. :wave

I voted 2
dd is 5.5 has a set schedule & ds is 3.5 & participates as he wants to - which is probably more than half of our school time.

Hello,
I've been reading this board when I can for over a year now. The new format seems like a good time to join in & say hi. Thank you all for the wonderful forum - I've learned so much here!

Does anyone else feel posts are more likely to get buried here at the new place?

I agree that posts are moving fast - look at the number of posters! I know I will be missing out on stuff I would like to read - but it's just a matter of volume. The idea to "add forums that will disperse the load of posts from one board to several." seems valid to me - though selecting categories could be done in so many ways; how to choose?
