Well, we're two and a half weeks into the public school system around here. Ty is doing well with it. He's always up on time, dressed, and eating breakfast when we get up, which is good. He's experiencing some teasing at school about his size though (all my kids are LITTLE). I think he is realizing that the world is a scary place; I just hope he'll realize that home is the safe place and that his family is always here. We'll see.
We started back with home schooling for the other kids today. They just spend so much time wandering around bored, which then leads to bickering that we decided to cut their vacation short. It was getting ridiculous. So, we have 1 eighth grader, 2 sixth graders, and 2 fifth graders. I still can hardly believe that we've crossed over (completely) into upper middle school. What a relief....it seemed like 4th grade was going to last forever for some of them.
Jon started classes again this week. I think he's getting close to burn out stage with college. He's tired and ready to be finished. Only 1 calendar year to go and he'll have his Bachelor's degree.
We also have a new "home school mascot". Miss Magee joined our family a few days after we returned from vacation. She is a tiny little dog with a big bark. I don't have any pictures of her to post, but suffice it to say that she looks like a Chihuahua (minus the big head), from the back she looks like a small pig (minus the curly tail), and when you walk her it's like walking a hamster. She is quite at home here and acts as if she's always lived here. She and Stanlie get along pretty well too.

ryc: Yes, time has flown. I still remember being pregnant with Mary and now our babies are in school. Sounds like everyone at your house is getting into the swing of school. Are you still in school?
@jmev - No. I just graduated last week. Of course, I start working full time in a week and a half and my office -----is in a public high school. So, technically, I'll be "going to school" every day! LOL
