[FONT=Arial Narrow][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]Hi everyone! It has been a long time since I have been on a message board.

Well, here's a bit about myself. I have been homeschooling for three years. I have an eight year old, Olivia, a six year old, Aaron and a 9 month old baby, Alyssa. Oh I also take care of a husband and my mixed yellow lab, Jackson.

I look forward to getting to know all of you.

[Ava Rose]

Thank you all for welcoming me!

Jackie--unbelievable! I can't believe we have kids with the same names. What is even more funny....my Aaron was almost an Isaac!

[Mom2ampm]

Welcome! I hs my two children in the Peach State. My kids are dd,9 and ds, 5. We've been homeschooling for three years now. Glad you could join us! If your 8yo is interested in a penpal let me know. My dd has tried a few but they quit on her.

[Ava Rose]

a penpal is a great idea! I have been trying to find ways for her to get more experience writing.

hi, I sent you a PM before reading this,.

[ABall]

I'm the dork here, I have 4 kids as you can see from the avitar, twins that are 8, a 6 year old son and 5 year old daughter.

[Ava Rose]

No problem. I actually thought I may have left something out. If I did let me know. I am excited to get to know everyone.

[Ohio Mom]

What part of Ohio are you in? I'm in the Football Hall of Fame City.

[Ava Rose]

My ds would love to go to the football hall of fame. I am not in such an exciting area. Although we did have three terriorists arrested here. I am in Toledo.

[Ohio Mom]

Just pick a time and come on down, we can put you guys up for the night or 2 and can go to the Hall of Fame. We also have McKinley's Monument here plus a small museum. Everyone else has the same invitation.
