Excellent. Congratulations!
Very nice!!
Congrats!!
Congratulations.
My kids are well on their way to being equally successful.
Hope they’re planning or already homeschooling their own kids! Being a second generation homeschooler is awesome. I keep finding great curriculum for my daughter that I wish had been around when I was six.
Homeschool parents should make sure to impress on their children the importance of discussing homeschooling with potential spouses. For my husband and me, it was one of the things that brought us together, but I can imagine it’s a point of stress for other couples.
So obviously they have problems with social skills..........
You have every reason to brag, you and your wife earned it. Your children are the beneficiaries.
My hope for this country lies with your children and mine and others like us.
May God bring a great revival to our land, may the hearts of men be turned back to Him.
Wow. Well done.
Congratulations! Job well done!
