Thread: New from Virginia

  1. #1

    Default New from Virginia

    Hello! My name is Christine and I am so happy to have found this site! We're eclectic/secular homeschoolers and I've been looking for the past two years for a place to fit in.

    We are a military family on our last duty station before retirement. We have 3 children, ages almost-21 (yikes, when did that happen?), 10 and 6. I started down our homeschool path 2 years ago after moving to VA.

    We have many interests, although this summer seems to have focused on hiking, swimming and fishing. We stay pretty busy throughout the year, but really enjoy our down-time.

    I look forward to looking around the site and getting to everyone.

    Christine

    Welcome to the group I have a sister and brother in law that are in the serve They have played around with the idea of homeschooling but never really took the plunge! And thanks to your family for the sacrifices you all have made for all of us. I know that there were times that my sis and BIL didn't see each other for 6 months, don't think I could do that!

    Welcome to the site, Christine. I'm sure you'll find it a great resource, and I look forward to getting to know you.

    Cheers.
    Just call me Shoe...

    I'm a homeschool dad, educating Matt (age 13-since October 2009) and Carol (age 11-starting August 2010) during the day in New Hampshire and working full time in the evenings. I spend my spare time watching movies, nearly barefoot running (Vibram FiveFingers are great!), training for short (Sprint and International Distance) triathlons and trying to catch up on sleep. I guess you could say we're eclectic, meaning trying different things until we get it right ...

    Thank you for the warm welcome.

    Cara, I'm in Midlothian, probably not too far from you.

    Topsy, I'll be checking out the groups you linked. Thanks!
