Raising Real Men, part 6
Moving into Part Two of the book, "Civilization for the Tough," the Young's begin with "First Things" first! What do you think is the first thing involved in raising REAL men to be civilized? Deuteronomy 6:4-7 The Young's have dubbed this passage of Scripture "the basic commandment for homeschoolers."

Such adorable kids!! Such adorable parents!! You are definitely a busy family. How fun to have Derek off for a while to be all together. And a swimming party too! You guys are truly blessed.

You will want to have held them a little longer, told then you love them a few more times and wish you could hold them at that age just a few more times before they are off on their own. It is such fun to watch them grow into adults and see how their lives develop, too. So much to thank God for in our lives. We are thankful for you guys and wish we could see you more often.
Love you!!
