A Whirlwind Trip

Image
Caedmon & I made a special trip home in August to celebrate my dad's wedding to Kay Peters who hails from California. She is a retired physical therapist and an amazing lady who loves Jesus. Caedmon & I got to witness the 7minute 30second nuptials on August 8th in Walla Walla, followed by a short and sweet reception.  Why did Caedmon get to come along? Well, he's an 11th grader and will likely not have another opportunity to see colleges in person before he applies next year. And so, the day after the wedding Caedmon & I embarked on a trip across Washington to visit five public universities and one private: WSU, EWU, CWU, UW, WWU and SPU, with a brief Sunday stop back at Trinity to catch up with friends and faith family. In all we were away for 14 days, 8 of which we got to spend in the good old U.S. of A. Our trip, both driving and flying, came off without a hitch and we are so thankful.

Here are a couple photos I snapped from a recent opportunity she had to do some in-person training for a large group, in addition to her almost daily personal consulting via the internet.

Months of Work and Regularity

       I hope your fall is progressing well.   Though our weather feels much more like the hight of summer, we are into the fall swing of homeschooling.        Since April, John has been blessed to continue with his Book work and I, Erin, have been working on writing curriculum to teach through the Book.   I am blessed to have another lady to work with in determining which of His stories to write lessons for and which truths to emphasize in each.   As the whole Book is active, living, and useful, limiting to any number of stories is challenging.      The kids’ homeschooling went well into August due to our transition back into homeshooling from wonderful public schooling experiences in the States.   Caedmon took a drawing course for fun during the summer until we picked back up with school in September.   Evangeline turned seven and is excited to be a second grader.  Whitman continues to ...
