Teaching the Bears

Lately, I've been wanting to start another blog. I stopped doing the Syracusedoula blog for obvious reasons (not in Syracuse, not really a doula), but we still have cool things going on that I'd like to share.

Patrick helped pick the blog title, because we're learning and we're Baers'.

Everyone in the house is learning and growing. In the fall, I'll have four homeschooled students. They're officially going into Kindy, 1st, 4th and 6th grade. We have a new baby, born June 1st. I'm a student midwife, apprenticing and doing academic work through the National Midwifery Institute. Tim is working to pay our bills, helping out at church, playing board games & video games and hanging out with bands.

Aside from wanting to share what we're doing, I'm excited about starting a blog again because in the past, blogging about homeschooling has made me want to do cool things with the kids so I could post it. Kinda like how being in Weight Watchers makes you want to eat healthy foods.

So hopefully I'll manage to post about what the kids are doing in homeschooling, how the midwifery school is going and what we're all learning about.
