First Snow!

This week brought with it the first snow of the year.  I love the first snow,  looking out on the white clean of outside, knowing that the busy days of summer and fall are over.  The cozy, quieter days of winter will be keeping us indoors more and this is the time when the bulk of our school bookwork gets done.

Hot tea, cuddles under blankets, read alouds, movies with popcorn and rosy cheeks  after outdoor play are some of the thing I look forward to the most. As I watch my family grow, this season also brings refection on who we are and where we are headed.Questions are asked. Where have I seen the most growth, physically, emotionally, spiritually? Who needs sharpened? And where?  What needs to change in our home education routine? These and many others are just a few things I ponder, and pray about.  I think this year will bring many changes........I need to take a deep breath and embrace whatever life brings.
