Re: Welcome Baby Elise and 's update

[Guest guest]

Pam,

I'd be interested in the address to your homeschooling sight. Our plan

is to homeschool until we can move to a community with a Waldorf School.

Thanks.

Donna

Pam,

It's good to see you posting again! You definitely sound busy. I'll be

praying that all works out for , and that he doesn't need the

surgery.

By the way, I was homeschooled for two years, and my siblings were for

longer than that. My two brothers are being homeschooled right now. I

think it's wonderful that you're doing it, and I plan on homeschooling

Rose and any other children I have.

Thanks for the update!

Joy
