I was able to go the MACHE homeschool convention in MN this weekend. My first stop on Thursday morning was the HOD booth. Carrie was very gracious in giving me a good chunk of time talking to me. I think I even prevented her from eating her breakfast (sorry

). She was such an encouragement to me! I walked away with a bagful of books (for Bigger) and a renewed spirit that I can do this ("this" being homeschool). What a wonderful treasure she is! She is still in the thick of it just as we are, wiping runny noses, dealing bickering children and wondering why if you put two socks in the washer only one comes out

. I'm thankful for the time she spends responding to questions on this board and writing new books. Thank you for your ministry, Carrie!
