Is it really February? And the end of February at that, only 2 days remaining until I'll flip the calendar page. Surely spring will make it's entrance then, just maybe....if I wish with all my heart.
I think I've been caught in a time warp. I putter around the house composing blogposts in my mind yet somehow they never seem to make it onto this screen. Surely in this house of 8 (plus company) there must be plenty happening to share with you. But you see, that's just it, there's always something happening and when do I sit and put it all down?
Let me see if I can recap the past two months of this Learning Life adequately. My days have been full of schooling, full of reading wonderful books to wonderful children, full of encouragement for weary college girls, full of sharing our home with delightful college friends, full of Wednesday evenings spent with 5th & 6th grade AWANA girls, and full of love for my family.
That about sums up my days....they are abundantly full and overflowing.

My Favorite Place, Elkhorn
For the past few years, just after Christmas we've packed up and secluded ourselves in a lovely cabin in the mountains. From the warmth of the living room we've admired the surrounding scenery...the river running through the valley, the mountains, and sometimes snow. For my birthday we loaded up the cars again, this time to enjoy the surroundings in the summer warmth. We enjoyed some hiking (a bit more than I was anticipating) and savored time to soak up the sun by the river. We read our books, snacked and snacked and snacked some more, watched our movies, and lamented that we had forgotten Settlers of Catan and Carcasonne at home. All in all, it was a perfect end to our summer.

Must Read!
"The Mysterious Benedict Society", by Trenton Lee Stewart.
I've been saving this book to kick off our new school year. It's a five star winner on my chart!!!! Intrigue, interesting characters, puzzles....it's all there. And we've only read the first chapter. I intend to savor this read.

Beginning Anew
I love fresh starts!
I love new books, pencils, and paper...organized binders and decluttered cupboards!
I love the return to routine that comes with the first day of a new school year.
I love the enthusiasm in my little girls as they start each new subject.
I love the fullness of the day and the feeling of accomplishment that teaching my children brings.
It's been a lovely start today and I'm looking forward to tomorrow.
