First Swim Meet & Changes Our Way

The boys had their first swim meet of the summer against FFST, their previous team.  They both did great, I was so proud of them.  Nathan even came in 1st place for 6U backstroke.  I was trying to post more videos but for some reason it gave me an error everytime.  Here is the freestyle for both Nathan and Liam, Nathan is at the bottome of the screen and Liam is 2 lanes above him.


The Glass household is having some changes coming our way.  We have really been praying about it and God has led us in a direction that we never thought we would be headed, homeschooling.  With Trinity tuition this year for both boys over $7500 and next year close to $10,000, we have decided to homeschool Nathan.  He is so excited about it since some of his friends are doing it this year too.  Duval County has a large homeschooling community so with that and his sports he won't miss the interaction with other kids.  We also are enrolling him in the Classical Conversations program so he will still go to school once a week for 3 hours, so he won't miss holiday parties and get to do fun things like science experiments, speeches, projects, etc. 

If homeschooling doesn't work out then our next option is to put out house on the market.  With the housing market the way it is now we would be lucky to break even at this point.  If we were to sell we would move to St John's County or even look to move to another state.

The start to the summer is going great.  Both Nathan and Liam are enrolled in the summer reading program and both checked out a handful of books.
