NEW FAMILY MEMBERS
this year for home schooling lucas is getting to do a lot of science. we’re studying a lot about nature as we grow some “specimens” in our home. we’ve done a lot of research on fish, tadpoles and frogs and now a chinese water dragon. it’s been a lot of fun :happy:
so without much ado, meet the newest members of the mcmani clan:
our baby chinese water dragon - GUACAMOLE - basking under his uv light
lucas holding him - due to lucas’ extensive research he is sure “he” is a he
our baby bullfrog - LILI - lounging in her pool - lucas is also very sure that “she” is a she
lucas holding her - i’m so proud, we raised her from a tadpole
i can’t believe a whole semester of home schooling has gone by already… thank goodness… shhhhhhh!
keep dreaming,

home schooling is the best, we (my wife Lizette and I) taught our daughter from k-2 and we continue to work in a charter school with home school families. I LOVE the ’stuff’ that gets collected/adopted and created by homeschooler’s!!

Niza! Good to see you around on here! I tried to find you yesterday, but it never would go through to your page. Today is different… I have a feeling that every day will be different on here for a while
Great pics by the way!

Niza,
I didn’t know that you guys home schooled. I was home schooled, too. Interesting…and here I thought it was by and large a Midwestern phenomenon.
