first day of cc :: 2014

tuesday was our first day back at classical conversations.  this will be my third year tutoring the youngest class (something that i truly love doing!), and gabe's third year as a student.  ezra will be in my class this year, his first year in a real classroom, and i could not be more excited!  in fact, two of my other students are girls who i have known since they were tiny babies.  it is so much fun watching these little ones grow up and being a part of their growing.  three-ish years in and i finally feel like we are hitting our homeschool stride.  it is going to be a great year!
