Jeffs' Journey: First Day of School

The girls had their first day of school on August 18. We've been homeschooling our children for three years now and it is with very mixed emotions that we came to the decision to put them in school. Although homeschooling can be tough at times, I look back on it with fond memories. We've done a lot of great things together and it has really brought our kids closer. They are truly each others' best friends and love to play together. What a blessing! We'll see how school goes. I have to admit, I'm not 100% into the school thing. Our lives suddenly seem extremely structured and I miss the flexibility of homeschool. I also feel like the kids are gone so much, they don't have much down time. Therefore, we will not be doing many extracurricular activities. The girls are all involved in soccer right now and that's going to be the extent. Tyla has started to complain that she doesn't have much time to read, and she's right!

Our family is going through a lot of change right now. We always seem to do major changes in a big way, ie move to Indiana and change jobs while seven months pregnant with twins. This time it's change careers (from working in the corporate world to self-employment), have a fifth child, and change schools for the kids. Good thing we're not moving this time! Travis and I are now full-time Realtors and working hard to get our business going. We have a business website: http://www.northernutahhomefinder.com/ that is still a work in progress, but it's getting there. Travis is great with computer things and building systems to make the work easier and more efficient. It's been fun to work together and I look forward to spending more time with him. So if anyone needs help with Real Estate, we'd love to help you!

These two are best friends and I am so grateful! Besides, they have to be the cutest set of twins I've ever seen!
