A home schooled teenage boy who lives down the road came over last week and asked about our car out front. It's been there for several years and we were just going to get it taken away so we gave it to him.
They had a bit of fun getting it going as one of the wheels had seized up. But they got it moving and the teenager drove it home. He said he wanted it for a project and we were quite glad to help him out!
We knew there was a home schooled family down the road but we've not had any contact with them until that day. They also have 6 children, 3 natural and 3 adopted. I believe the boy who got the car is the oldest? or second oldest at 13. This brings the total of home schooled families, that we know, of with 6 kids up to 4 families, not including us, in our area. Though we are the only ones with six in such a short age gap. For instance one family's oldest is 16 and the youngest is 1. Where is our oldest is 8 and our youngest is 6 months. M's from church are the closest age gap as their oldest is 12 and their youngest is 3 months. :)
Thinking of the age gap helps me understand how people with as many kids as we have still think 'wow that's a lot of kids' simply because we had ours so fast while their 6 kids are spaced out over more years.
