Beginnings

We will only begin School in Earnest next Monday, but the slide into our new routine is underway. Each morning this week we've broken out our math books and yesterday the children asked if please couldn't they start in their penmanship books as well? Well, yes, they could. This morning we're moving a little slower due to late night celebrations last night (my birthday and Antony and Laetitia's engagement and last evening with us) and ensuing headaches this morning (mine). So after playing with Zarli outside a little bit and taking some photos of our inspiring pine tree (Le Vieux Pin) for the masthead, I've begun this new blog. Hopefully it will serve as a place to record some of our daily activities to aid my frazzled memories, a place for photos of our academic achievements (playdoh sculptures?), a place for the children to start making some of their own recordings and experiments with technology, and a place to share all this with any friends and family that may be interested and that don't bore easily.
