Blueberries, Bees & Boys

We are currently in our third year of living in Germany. I will admit that my ability to speak German is not good. But I am able to read a lot more that I used to. When we first moved here we lived in the Baumholder area. Our Village was a small little place called Ruschberg. Our Village Ruschberg We lived at the top of a hill with a wonderful view of the rolling hills all around us. Add This was the view from our home in Ruschberg. After two years there, we go the opportunity to move to the Stuttgart area. We have been here for about 10 months now.

We try and go with him anywhere he goes, if it for a week or longer.

How we started homeschooling... We started this adventure when my oldest was in 1st grade. My husband got a chance to come to Germany for 4 months for work. We decided to pull JD our of school and finish the year homeschooling so we could go with Dad.  My youngest would be started kindergarten the following year. He saw his brother doing school and decided he wanted too do school also. So I jumped in with both boys, not having clue as to what i was d...
