throw the dog a bone

Sorry, I've been so remiss in my duties to keep you updated on our goings on. What a month July was!!! Don't get me started....it's 1/2 way through August.
Hmmm. Now I can't find my pictures! We had a lot of fun in Idaho...here are 2 highlights.
Give a baby a cupboard and you're good to go for hours!!

New Job Update

Hi everyone!
The summer is winding down and I haven't updated the blog in a month.
There was a day last week that I do believe Charles grew overnight and awoke an inch taller, wider, etc. His hair was still the same length though!

I'll get to the photos this week or weekend.

Now...to pick your brains and resources. Well, the brains of all our California fans anyway. I have been hired on as the area rep. for Kaplan Online School. It's for middle and high schoolers. Think "homeschoolers" but the difference is that with Kaplan students are assigned a FT teacher thus the parents are not the primary educators. The parents essentially play the same role as if their children were in conventional school..."Did you do your homework? let me check it. What work do you have to 'turn in' tomorrow/this week? etc"
I would appreciate any leads you have for families interested in homeschooling and might consider this type of alternative. ANY student who would homeschool would be a potential candidate. Families who travel a lot, kids who train in a competetive sport lots of hours a day, kids who excel in school, kids who are at risk, teen parents, teens who have to work to help support their families, kids with a physical or mental disability in which the parents would rather them school at home at a different pace.

Thanks for the thoughts...
