Hello! We are still in the midst of transitions here that are consuming most of my mental and physical energy, but I’ve been anxious to update you all. The school year has begun and I’m trying hard to be a really good homeschooler. Seth, Phoebe, and Elsie have moved into their own home, and I am honestly grieving.
