Merry Christmas!!

I did everything a little bigger this year, trying to add extra magic to help ease the ache in our hearts as we remembered the dads who aren't with us to celebrate this Christmas. 

We squeezed in all of our favorite traditions. We decorated, made ornaments, went on a Christmas light drive, created gingerbread house masterpieces, read Christmas stories together at night (there was some resistance this year to this...they seem to think they're too old to be read to anymore), baked for our neighbors,  and watched the Christmas classics. 

We also got to spread some cheer at a ministry party at church, see a play, spend time with our favorite people, and just be intentional about remembering how truly blessed we are.

Happy 1st Day of School!!

The summer flew by, and just like that we have an 8th grader and a 10th grader! This year we will continue with Classical Conversations as we really enjoy being part of a local community. Here's to another great year of learning together!!
