Am I true homeschooler now?

I was trying to plan my week for school this week when I thought wow I have come a long way since last year. It was my first year last year and I was always wondering if I was doing the right thing etc. I followed the teachers manuel like a saint and did what they did. We used MFW last year. This year we are doing mostly Beyond with my 8 and 6yr. My 8 yrs. is doing the math from Bigger and my 6yr. is doing the Learning the basice from LHFHG and we do Learning through history together with beyond and I have a different Lang. arts program! Now last year I never would of felt like I could do it but with HOD it is so easy. I get time with each kid alone and also we get to do things together too. I also have a 5 and 3 yr. I am doing LHTH with. they love it. We are busy on Tuesdays so I have made it a four day week for us and with HOD that is so easy! I am just amazed at how well I am able to juggle all the different parts of this. I am always in home school mode and find so many things that can tie right into what we are doing in school. What's even more fun is when I see the kids do something that we just learned or talked about. My dad , who is not a big fan of homeschooling, was really surpirsed to learn my oldest talking about the ocean and currents he said "Wow he really is learning a lot" Just wanted to share my happiness today!
