I have begun putting many things into practice since returning home, and am so thankful for the "big picture" I got while I was there. To those who have never been to a conference before, take the time to just do it. It is worth every penny and minute spent. I came away so refreshed and invigorated!

Been praying for you as you get ready after getting ready for CMI Conference. Emma is making an altered book out of an Alice in Wonderland book we bought from Kerri! Yes, Be Generative. The two words have to settle in and bring wonder and then a shift happens.( smiling)LOVE the illustration at the top. Sat with Jeannette at the airport looking into Rome & all her thoughts. Think I was the first person she knew to talk to coming home, well, almost home. SO thankful Charlotte is a stopping airport! Wish it was on YOUR way somewhere. Two "top of the head" places in Vermont are Stowe where the Van Trapp Lodge is and Tasha Tudor ? ( not sure where she lived up there.)

I'd just re-read your 'Highschoolers as Persons' post along with Cheri and Kaley's 'Homeschool Reflections' post a few days ago as I consider Maxim's next six years. Perhaps a tattoo -- or at least a poster -- of your "Keep Calm and Keep Treating Them as Persons" in a highly visible spot to quiet the chatter of "increasing independence" all around me.<br /><br />I had to stop for awhile at M. Mercier's illustration. Details appreciated. <br /><br />A.n.t.i.c.i.p.a.t.i.o.nRichelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040133815286428699noreply@blogger.com
