oh YAY! good for you - and that's such great news. and thanks so much for giving me a place to chime in on the thank-yous...

we just started homeschooling, too - and i have to say it's pretty much solved all our problems in one fell swoop. DD is eating curriculum like it's her last day on Earth, and i'm honestly SO much more relaxed since i don't have to fight with the school every day. this is without doubt the greatest thing i've ever done - why they ever wanted to hold her back is beyond me - it's so exciting to watch!

it is indeed a testament to the wise folks here for making homeschooling seem possible. DD5 is really flourishing, and i thank you all so very much.


Every Sunday it brooded and lay on the floor. Inconveniently close to the drawing-room door.
