Another Year Stronger!

While many around the country started school a couple of weeks ago and my Facebook feed was filled with 1st day of school pictures...we have just began our new year today.  I think we are going to have a strong year of adventures.  Our plan is to take advantage of the surroundings and learn school subjects in relation to these surroundings.

We started out slow but thankful for the home-made bagels Michael made us yesterday!

If you are wondering where Little Miss is in the picture...she decided to crawl away from the scene in defiance...see no sugar coated new beginnings for us!

Then we began the day with our 11th Annual Walk to School Day!  Woohoo!  A great start to our school year and we try to continue to do this each day until we mess up the routine or just do not feel like it.  Usually this is because of bad weather...but this year we are going to see how many days we can make this happen once again!

Here are our first day of school pictures...

So amazing that we are set to enjoy this 17th year of home schooling!  I never would have thought it possible that very first day of school so many years ago!  So here we are...our motley crew of homeschoolers...ready for another year of learning to become life long learners of all we have to discover around us!
