Light at the End of the Tunnel

  While getting a first grader settled in at home, on the other end of the spectrum is AnnaClaire.  Today in the mail she got her acceptance letter to college!  Exciting!  AnnaClaire has been homeschooled since 6th grade - shortly after she came to be our daughter and her academic progress has been remarkable.  The biggest struggle we had was convincing her that she really could know stuff.  And now she has an acceptance letter to prove it.  So as Samuel begins - AnnaClaire is stepping out and I couldn't be more proud of her.  And that is her graduation gown she was trying on when the letter arrived!
