Day 916 of 1000

I started this blog about ten years ago.  It was the summer before Kelly’s fith and Christian’s third grade years of school.  The purpose of the blog has been to document the kids path through homeschool.  Since Christian never made it to high school, we decided to keep on writing through college.  Well, that time is almost here.  Kelly and Christian are both scheduled to earn their Bachelors degrees on May 10, 2014.  We have talked about this quite a lot.  After that point, we believe what they do, whether it be graduate school or a job, is “getting on with life.”

The upshot is that the purpose of this blog will have been fulfilled when we get to the end of our 1000 day count, now only 84 days in the future.  I have enjoyed this blog a lot, but have pretty much run out of things to say about the topics for which we get most of our hits, namely how did we did our homeschooling.  I enjoy blogging too much to give it up entirely so I am thinking of starting a new blog if and when I give up this.  I plan to just leave the blog here for posterity and a pointer to my new blog (if I get one).  I hope to download the whole thing and print it out as a hardcover book for each of the kids, the grandparents, and us.

Any thoughts on this topic are very much welcome.
