Living, Loving and Learning Together
Monday we took an unexpected trip to OMSI. Their featured exhibit is “The Art of the Brick.” We enjoyed reading and learning about the artist.

I decided that despite her whining, we would return to schooling today. She whined, she cried…but she learned, and I’m a happy momma! Just some highlights of today’s learning: We started [...]
