The HOD Prodigal returns

I just wanted to take a moment and introduce myself since I will probably be picking everyone's brains on here a LOT!!
For the past two years of homeschooling my oldest dd, I have used a mixture of lots of differnt curriculums and made my own out of it. When I started planning for this fall, I knew that I wanted to use LHTH with my second dd who will be 4 this fall. I used it with her big sis and we had soooo much fun! Well, as I started looking at LHTH again, I remembered all of that fun and that sent me back to the HOD website to look around and like a black hole in outer space, it sucked me back in!!!
Soooooo, this fall I will be doing Bigger with my dd7 (I've already bought the TM and it looks like a great year!) and LHTH with my dd4. I know that this is where we need to be as a family, and now I'm wondering why I ever left to eat with the pigs!

Your subject line cracked me up so I just had to say hello and welcome back.
I'm doing Bigger with my oldest three, and we're having a great year. You're in for a treat.

Welcome back to HOD!
Don't worry, I too did something similar. The methods of CM were very new and I panicked. Went back to the way that was more familiar. When it didn't work, HOD was waiting. This time I learned the methods and why they worked. Now, it's home. Enjoy an amazing year with HOD.

Welcome from another prodigal! I too have just returned to HOD and can't figure out why I ever left it to begin with.
It feels wonderful to be back. I'm sure you know the feeling
Blessings to you as you begin your path back to HOD for next year.

Welcome back - so glad you are here!
We are doing Bigger Hearts and LHTH now (and RTR too) - what fun we have had this whole year!
I've now done LHTH 3 times with our 3 sons, and Bigger Hearts twice - it has been a neat mixture of what has been and what is new. It's familiar in a fond way, but new in a fresh way as my dc are all so different from one another.
I'm so excited for the year you have ahead of you! Have you seen the HOD photobooks? They will give you a sneak peek and Bigger Hearts, and take you down memory lane with LHTH:

I look forward to getting to know you more here!
In Christ,
Julie

Chelli,
We pray you will enjoy LHTH and Bigger Hearts.
We are doing both right now with our two youngest sons and enjoying the journey!
We look forward to visiting more with you this year!
Blessings,
