I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the WHOLE GROUP because today is the 3rd birthday of the group which was formed as a stand alone website/group separate from any of the yahoo or other message board groups out there. Today, 3 years ago, this site went live thanks to my wonderful hubby and webmaster Ben. Thank you for the long days putting all of this together for the socialization of your wife and kids.
While we started WAHA on November 13, 2005 BUT we didn’t get our OWN website until October 31, 2006!

We are right now 120 FAMILIES strong!

CONGRATULATIONS! We are so HAPPY to be part of such a WONDERFUL extended family with such AWESOME people!

Here’s to MANY more years of sharing our homeschooling experiences with you!

BIG Thanks go out to Rachel Marcian, Amy Marcus and Wendy Clarke who work extra hard to help make this group the awesomeness it is! Big Hugs Ladies!! I love you all!

Enjoy your day and we hope to see everyone somewhere soon! Keep an eye on the board for the latest scheduled activities and such.

Much Love,
Synamon, Ben, Cody and Cordelia

The Frederick County Fire & Rescue Explorers Post is a great way to start learning everything you need to become a firefighter and you can start as soon as you turn 14!
Cody is starting his 3rd year of being an Explorer and he really enjoys it. He is also enrolled in the Fire Academy and is currently looking for a station to volunteer at in Winchester, Virginia.

Hello ballet fans!
