LakeLady's Retreat

Congratulations Graduates!

Thirteen years ago, our homeschool journey began.  Two years ago, we graduated our first homeschooled student from high school, painstakingly planning, in great detail, the perfect homeschool graduation ceremony.  (You can read a little about it here: http://www.homesteadblogger.com/LakeLady/56311/ )  It was a beautiful thing.  Surrounded by 80 of our closest friends and family, we celebrated with a slide show featuring pictures of the graduate from birth on - complete with sentimental music (...wasn't a dry eye in the place), catered food, centerpieces, cake and a diploma presentation featuring encouraging words from the pastor. 


Fast forward two years and our son is now graduating from high school.  As we did with our daughter, we allowed him to choose the type of graduation ceremony he wanted.  Cap & gowns with other grads, private ceremony like his sister's...?  Not a chance!  And what a blast we had!!  Here is a pic of our grad (top right) with his sister and the "principal" enjoying part of his "graduation ceremony."


 


Congrats Class of '09!!!

Believe in God and you'll believe in miracles;

believe in His Son and you'll experience one!

Logic ridicules love,

and love smiles knowingly

at the whole foolishness of logic.

in your heart and can sing it back to you

We are...

...a Christian family desiring to raise our

children with the primary focus on

Training their Hearts!

III John 1:4

"I have no greater joy, than to hear my

children walk in truth."

Proverbs 22:6

"Train up the child in the way he should

go, and when he is old, he will not depart

from it"

Deuteronomy 5:29

"Oh that their hearts would be inclined

to fear me and keep all my commands always,

so that it might go well with them and their

children forever!"

Train up a child in the way he should go

— but be sure you go that way yourself.

The character of our children tomorrow

depends on what we put into their hearts today.
