We had a wonderful number of people (50 total) attend the last Alys Stephens school performance on Friday. It was great mix of music, drama and audience participation. Probably the one thing that stood out to me was the message of the value of friends.
That morning my girls and I had actually read Psalm 133 which starts with "How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity!" It seemed like God was really wanting me to get the message of how valuable it is that we get together and stay connected.
As we enter into the summer, I know that many of us will probably be "out" enjoying family vacations or "in" trying to get that work on the house or in the yard completed before school starts again! I want to challenge you to stay connected. Find two or three families from our group to stay in touch with on a weekly basis. Do things together like meet at a park for a picnic, or go to someone's house for water fun, or even enjoy an air-conditioned movie!
As we go down the "yellow brick road" of homeschooling, let's encourage each other to see the "brain", "heart", and "courage" that we already possess! And as the Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion and Dorothy discovered, it is always easier to defeat the evil "witch" with the help of a few good friends!

Second - I so hate that we missed this. This was an event I was looking forward to from when we first received our events list. :(
Glad everyone had fun!
I can't wait to meet some families in the group!

The event did sound like fun, but I had even more fun taking pictures of the Homeschool Group at the Botanical Gardens!!! What beautiful days we had and what wonderful families you all are.... it was great to see old friends and meet new ones!
