My parents took a first day of school picture of Philip and me ever year as we grew up. I started the practice with Meg on her first day of Kindergarten and hope to keep it up through all the years with all the kids. Even though we weren't "going" anywhere except down to the basement this year it just seems like a first day of school photo needs to be taken on the front step. Someday it will be fun to line up all the shots and see how each kid grew, and how fashions and hairstyles (and probably front steps) changed.
Second Grader!
First Grader!
Classmates(disclaimer: although I'm infamous at our house for making everyone wear coordinating outfits for special picture occasions this orange theme was purely coincidental)
The first day (first week?) was a little rockier than our faces suggest.(My friend Dianne was right: the hardest thing about homeschooling is the parenting!) But I think we're moving in the right direction and settling into a better rhythm. So farm the best thing about teaching the kids is watching them do something well that I didn't know they could do (and wouldn't get to see if I weren't the teacher). And reading great books together on the couch is pretty fun, too.
New Supplies----
I took these pictures the night before, figuring our
little classroom would never be this neat and tidy again.
Our composer (Bach) and artist (Monet) of the year, and our memory work, Psalm 84. I decided less was more in terms of posted rules. If we understand and live out these two ideas more at the end of the year than we did at the beginning I will be pleased. 
So many interesting things to learn!

I'm glad you posted on your homeschool! -enjoyed seeing your school room and ideas. I have started homeschooling my 2nd grader this year as well.
Hi Amy! I was thinking of you today as I looked through clothes you handed down for Peter (thank you again). It's been too long since we've seen you! I love your homeschool room and the remodeling you did in your house looks great.
