2014 Year in Review

2014 Year in Review

Going through my blog archives and reminiscing about this past year.

1. In January I posted a poem a day with art too. Lucy learned to walk.

We went to my niece’s baptism:

We watched the entire Nutcracker. And read poetry.

2. In February Bella made her first communion.

Bella looks pensive thinking about the day.

We took a walk in the woods:

And Lucy played barefoot in the snow.

3. In March we welcomed spring, playing outside with bare feet.

We did lots of nature study, including field trips.

8. In August Granddad came, my sister visited, I turned forty, we learned about Shakespeare, and more swords.

More swords:

9. In September we did lots and lots of Shakespeare, I started hosting the Guilt Free Learning Notes linkup, and mostly did school at home since my foot was in a walking cast and long field trips were out of the question.

Happy New Year, everyone.
