I was so excited to get our box today!!! We are looking forward to a great year of American history! After much thought, prayer, advice, and DH's insight, I finally decided to go with Bigger for DS this year. I was debating b/t Beyond and Bigger for quite a while, but decided to go with Bigger and take it slow if we need to. DS will be 7.5 when we start. We are also doing DITHOR 2/3. It feels SOOOO good to have made a decision and feel at peace with it!!!
One neat thing: I ordered the devotional book for me b/c it looked so good and didn't realize I would receive a free one with my order (over $100) so I am going to pass that one on to a friend!
As a re-introduction, I am new to HOD this year. We are starting our 3rd year of homeschooling. I have DS1-7, DS2-4, and DD-20 months. Looking forward to getting to know you all better as we begin this adventure with HOD!

Woo Hoo! Isn't Box Day fun?!! Bigger looks so fun! I wish my kids wouldn't have been too old for it when I started HOD this year. I'm sure you're going to have a great year!!

HOORAY, Jessica! It is such a good feeling to have made a decision for the upcoming year, and boy, did you make a good one! We loved our year with Bigger Hearts. All of those American heroes can teach us so much. We felt like they were old friends by the time the year was done. Have fun going through your box of HOD goodies!
The rest of you ladies - can't wait for you to get your things too! Luckily, HOD ships quick as lightning, so you shouldn't have to exercise the virtue of patience (which is always a real exercise for me )!
In Christ,
