to the Osborn Family School House!
Our sons are currently 4 yrs and 2 years old, so we aren't formally homeschooling yet. But we are really researching it and can't wait! We have spent some time defining
why we homeschool.UPDATE: Our boys are now 4.5 and 3 and we have made some big changes to our life! We are back in fulltime ministry - Eric is the pastor of Harbor Baptist Church and administrator of Harbor Christian School. We are looking forward to, Lord willing, putting the boys in the Christian school. But we will probably will homeschool preschool and maybe kindergarten. We are slowly changing the links below to reflex this. If you have a good site for preschoolers or kindergarten,
please let us know!
Here are some great links we have found:
