Hi,

Sounds interesting. I am a 57 year old full time dad. We have two
older daughters, 10 and 14, who are in public school, and a 7 year old
son that I home school. We adopted the girls from Russia two years ago,
and I home schooled them for the first year. Now, they are in public
school, but I still home school my son, Taylor.

We always had the idea of home schooling Taylor, because he seems
especially bright. The homeschooling is paying off very well, as he
functions way above grade level in all subjects. He loves it, and I
love it. We work hard and play hard every day.

We would be happy to participate,

Chad Holland
