Discovering Dandelions
Today I let Kevin loose on the ground for the first time outside. He started out by inspecting sticks on the concrete. Then he laid on his belly and explored the crack between two pieces of the pavement, pulling out the pebbles and brushing out the dirt. Then I moved him the grass, where he pulled up large clumps by the handful. Finally, he discovered dandelions. You can see the progression in pictures from discovery to pulling off the tops to disgust.
I'm a 39 year old Christian mom of 10 kids. I have six girls; Danya age 17, Gloria age 15, Jordan age 15, Brianna age 14, Katie age 8, and our other 8 year old Karyie. My four sons include Michael age 14, Shane age 13, Kevin age 11, and Ryker age 2. I also was a foster mom for about 5 years. In 2009 we adopted two of the 33 kids we've fostered. In April 2012 we adopted three more! I've been happily married to the love of my life, Daniel, for 21 years!
For privacy reasons we cannot post identifying pictures of foster children. That's why their faces are covered or only the backs of their heads are shown. We also give them nicknames to protect their privacy.
The Mini Homeschoolers
Danya and Gloria are "The Mini Homeschoolers" in a series of YouTube videos where they answer questions about homeschooling from a younger perspective. These videos are based on the ones created by two funny homeschooled young men called "Ask the Homeschoolers".
