this picture is of the school bus coming up our road for the first time this school year. i always get an odd feeling when i see it, imagining joseph on it, and it's so strange, to imagine him there. i'm so grateful that we have the opportunity to share learning adventures with him...

are you starting school today?
this question comes from the traditional way of looking at school- it starts and ends at a particular time- time of day, time of year. when your children are in school, your schedule is made for your family. that is what is so glorious about homeschooling- there isn't a beginning or an end. if you define education as a joyful process that saturates life rather than something controlled by an on/off switch dictated by some board of education, this question becomes irrelevant. i wanted to explain all this to the librarian who asked us if we were starting school today, but at the time, i said "we homeschool and don't really have a starting or ending date- it's more of a lifestyle thing." and gave her a big smile, hoping for understanding.
