Achievement test scores aren’t the measure of a kid’s life, or worth, or strength, or soul.

In November, our family embarked on a six-stop, 16-day road trip across the southeast US.
About a month ago, we suddenly became a family of five. Not because Mystery had arrived, but because we welcomed a two-year-old foster son into our home!
We had the privilege of being host family to Gabriel, from near Bilbao, Spain, and Jules, from near Lyon, France. Both boys were 14, came to experience American culture and improve their English, loved Cocoa Krispies, and hated ranch dressing. Other than that, they were quite different.
With so much time and energy spent on homeschooling and Itty and Bitty, we’ve gone far too long without a regular family update.
I saw something in a magazine that inspired me to re-cover a bulletin board and make a Thanksgiving Tree. The idea was to spend some time each night during our family devotions to talk about what we were thankful for and write it on a leaf to put on the tree.
