1215 – Exciting news that my youngest niece is expecting!

1216 – Being listed on a “Top 100 Homeschool Blogs” list.

1217 – We are now re-certified for CPR/first aid, and completed five of the required yearly training hours to maintain our status as approved for foster/adoption.

1218 – Letting my artsy side out a little by doing an art project with my daughter, instead of just observing and instructing. (Our chickadee pastel project.)
