We spent this week in a flurry of fall.
As we are approaching autumn, the weather cooled down and got a little blustery. We drank tea, and lit the first fire in the fireplace on Tuesday.
We celebrated ourselves and our place within our family this week, as Rob and I approach our 11th anniversary this Saturday.
It was a community filled week, as every day was filled with friends in one way or another. I love the joy of our community, and the ways we rely on each other. They make this homeschooling experience a very whole experience.
My highlights of the week were..... K teaching B her very first violin lesson, and doing a beautiful job.... poor W tumbling into the Irvington fountain under my watchful eye!... L being so proud of riding his bike to preschool... the Ashre mama's getting ready for another performance, and the kiddos playing underfoot while we sang and drummed... watching sweet baby M- her first time away from mama- while Susan was in the classroom... how K and F mothered M!...eating caramel apples from A's trip to the orchard... Rachael teaching the girls Chinese Jump-rope and Brazilian hopscotch- games from her own childhood... and so much more.
