I wanted to introduce myself before I dove in and started tapping the keys on the keyboard. So here goes!
I am Sondra, a Catholic Homeschooling mom to 8 kids. Our children are 12, 10, 7, 5, 4, 3, 20 months and 7 months. Four boys, four girls. We have homeschooled from the very beginning! The story of how we started will be sure to come. It goes hand in hand with my conversion story and my husbands reversion. We live in Sunny Arizona, where the bugs are bigger than...well...maybe you don't want to know that.
We live in a smaller town north of Phoenix that is growing at rates much faster than I would like to see it. We are getting a Super Walmart and a Home Depot! Hitting the big time!
We are embarking on a new road with our homeschooling. Our #7 child is undergoing testing/screening for a developemental disability, most likely autism. While this has been really hard on our whole family, we have learned more in the past few months than we have in years. Maybe not all in "book knowledge" but in ways I never dreamed the Lord would teach us. I am sure I will be sharing lots more about this adventure.
For now I will leave you with this:
Proverbs 22:6 (New American Bible) Train a boy in the way he should go; even when he is old, he will not swerve from it.
Hi Sondra! We have 8 too....19 down to 3. Can't wait to hear more about y'all.

My husband and I have 3 children and we know that we're not done. Mom's like you are my inspiration: Catholic, homeschooling, and still sane. :-)
