"A university [or homeschool] is an alma mater, knowing her children one by one, not a foundry, or a mint, or a treadmill." John Cardinal Newman

Completion!
We closed our very last school book on Thursday. What an immense sense of accomplishment we feel! Despite morning sickness, the challenges of pregnancy, Stephen's five business trips to California and the adjustments of life with a newborn, we managed to have a really productive, enjoyable school year. It's neat to think that Big Sis is now entering the grade during which I began my homeschooling journey (4th grade). Baby boy keeps asking to do his "independent work" with the kids. It's fun to think that he'll be ready for some structured preschool activities in the fall.
On Friday we took off for a special day to celebrate the end of our academic year. It began with a trip to the pottery studio (where we made a plaque of Papoose's little hand and foot prints). Then we met some friends at Squam Lakes Science Center for a delightful stroll through their wooded trails. I'll post some pics of the critters we met along the way. I think that we were most impressed by the black bear since his twin brother paid a trip to our neighborhood last week!
