Finding Beauty

School started up again today. Our 2nd trimester. The 1 month break was perfect. It seemed to all of us that it had been a very long time since we had done any schoolwork.

They came out of their bedroom dressed and ready for breakfast. That's not an everyday occurrence.
The first assignment this morning: Create a visual journal.
Inspired by Ann Voskamp, we have begun a new way to record our thoughts, our prayers, our inspirations.

Old magazines found new purpose and O how they loved them and then ripped them to shreds. I had to make them stop and clean up too soon--it was only the first assignment of the day after all.
I loved watching their excitement over found treasure. They discovered beauty were I had not seen it before.

They teach me how to see.
