Another Good Day

 Homeschooling has become a blessing we rarely think about.  We forget that most families cannot run off to a museum on a weekday morning to indulge a child's fascination with ancient Roman history.  But we can.

It was a wonderful and simple day.  Not unusual for us.  Time spent together.  Good discussions.  Thoughtful questions and then home with good memories.

A Visit with Cousin Hannah's Flat Stanley!

This week, we met a new friend!  Our cousin, Hannah Mathes, sent Flat Stanley all the way to Covington, Georgia for a visit.  Do you know where Covington is?  It is just east of Atlanta, Georgia-- about a 12 hour drive from Farmington.

While he was here, Stanley made friends with our little dog, Audrey.  When he cooked sausage, she really liked him a lot!

Stanley helped us decorate for Halloween.  Scary!

Stanley had fun learning about history with us.  He battled knights and gladiators!  

He also met two famous presidents-- do you know who they are?

We had a wonderful visit with Flat Stanley, and now he is riding home from Georgia with Hannah's grandparents.  He misses you, Hannah!
