Homeschooling since the time of the dinosaurs and considered a "veteran" now, our eldest is currently a sophomore preparing for a life as an entrepreneur (where did she get that idea?), current plan is to own her own coffee shop.

7th grader is an avid graphics artist type (talent from father's side of family) drawing on everything in sight from napkins to scraps of any sort of paper to homework papers.

So why not add books to our internet presence?]]> female Antioch, IL 02/2008 08/2009 28 180 167 true 5669186 read 4 true 1939544 currently-reading 9 true 1939543 to-read 126 false 1939654 already-read 10 false 1939686 will-refer-to-over-and-over-again 6 false 1939674 my-own-books 1 false 1978356 reading-over-again 1 false 3672355 good-resource 0 false 1941958 started-never-finished A Priest Forever: The Life of Father Eugene Hamilton (Paperback) by Benedict Groeschel]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/63647696 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1178049987s/753324.jpg 948696 Nancy http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1204140245p2/948696.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/948696-nancy Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:59:04 -0700 The Rosary: Keeping Company with Jesus and Mary (Paperback) by Karen Edmisten]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59516451 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51njysTBoSL._SL75_.jpg 948696 Nancy http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1204140245p2/948696.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/948696-nancy Sat, 13 Jun 2009 10:13:04 -0700
