She graduated this week.
8th grade.
And just like that she went from starting kindergarten 3 months ago to starting high school in 3 months.
I'm at this sentimental crossroads thinking about her education.
It started around my grandparents old dining table.
It spent a lot of years out in our school room.
Huge parts were in the orchards.
It was the last 7 years with CC once a week.
It happened in the living room while she painted her nails & drew world maps & listened to read aloud's.

These are from the Challenge graduation.
I'm pretty sure there is no way I'd still be homeschooling my kids without the community that is these people.

These are from Mock Trial last month .... the swan song of her 8th grade year.

These are from nails & Starbucks with Lilly & Auntie Amie braiding her hair.

These are ..... please sneak out with me really quick, 'cause I want your picture even if the wind is blowing your hair & there is no good back drop.

This is the only shot of her giving her speech. Regan especially moaned our choice of seats.
..... and Pearly.

There's a big part of my heart that knows now all those times she cut out for the orchard before school started .... all those times weren't a big deal after all.
Because for example .... blink or blink again
