“A portrait of my children once a week, every week, in 2014.”

Lillia: We had a great conversation yesterday about how school can be like a prison. When I offered that you could still be homeschooling and NOT be in a prison, you said you’d rather be with your friends in prison than without them. My little homeschooling heart felt a twinge of sorrow, but I am really happy that YOU are happy at school, and that you have such good friends.

Zane: Haircut time! You are a charmer extraordinaire wherever we go, but particularly when we go to see Joanne. For such a wild man, you are an absolute saint when getting your hair trimmed. It’s a big relief not to have to fight over at least a few things my beautiful, willful, little boy.
