I met her a little more than 12 years ago and we have grown to be better friends every day. I could not think about my life without her. She is a friend forever. However, she is also the exception to the rule. I have evolved away from all the rest of my friends from that long ago and they become replaced with new friends that share similar interests. Great post! Great message! And in case you didn't know, that friend I refer to is you.

This is just what I needed to read, thanks!

Yet, it is also true that our bodies are not made to break down animal milk like human milk, so there is truth behind the idea. Truth is, we should all cut out ice cream. We are the only creature that drinks milk after we're grown up. Then complain about all out dietary issues.

I figured that I went to an underfunded, dirt poor school in my elementary years and yet I learned. For those of you who know me know I am not a stupid man. The big difference and the fatal flaw in my logic, school back then is completely different than school today. Back then we were rough and tumbles boys and would have never experienced the visual of oral sex being performed in the bathroom in first grade. We wrestled at recess and did not have to worry about law suits. Halloween parties were still called Halloween parties instead of Fall parties for political correctness. If you acted up in class you were disciplined...not reasoned with. The school concentrated on teaching and not trying to placate children or have them diagnosed with ADD or ADHD to increase their funding. Our boys learned a lot in public school and met a lot of good kids. But the truth of the matter is that the environment is deteriorating and seems to be getting worse over time. Our boys receive one on one attention now instead of one on 20 to 30 attention like they were receiving and they will graduate ahead of schedule. We can travel when we want so our field trips can include actually going to historical sites all over the US and the world. We can spend as much time as our kids want to on specific topics that are of higher interest to them. So here is my public apology to my wonderful wife who had the vision and the foresight to want to home school our kids from the beginning. You, my dear, were right and I am grateful that we make all decisions together now (regardless of outside influence). I love you and am blessed that you are my wife, my friend, my boys' mom, and now the teacher of our children. You have my utmost respect and cooperation, always.

Conor is only 8 months and already I have noticed little differences in attitude and personality. Now granted Makynze is 8 and Lexi is 10, but I remember when they were babies and they didn't grunt and grab certain places at Conor's age. I can only imagine what I am in for when Conor gets to be the boys' age.

I'm so blessed to have a husband who not only understands that, but encourages it in me and our children.
