WEEK 32

The boys had their last co-op classes this week! It has been a bittersweet year being that we are finishing up the end of our homeschooling journey for the boys. I definitely cried after I dropped Ryder off for his last day of class! Thankful that I get another few months of them being at home with me every day until they start traditional school.
