MACHE conference

Over the weekend Scott and I attended the annual MACHE homeschooling convention in Duluth. As always we came home with lots of new ideas and a renewed understanding of why we do what we do.



One of our favorite speakers was Dr. Jeff Myers. His presentations on our responsibility to pass the baton on to the next generation left us both wanting to be even more deliberate in passing on character development to the boys.



We spent a lot of time going through the curriculum fair getting lost in all the books and educational supplies. I confess, this is my favorite part of the conference. Being the investigative type I could still be going through all the different types of items available.





After a long day of researching and listening to presentations we were off to our favorite place to eat. Famous Dave's! We stop here every time we go up to Duluth. Someday we will have to share the story of how Famous Dave's became "our place."

We came home with bags full of new books for next year and lots of excitement about the coming year. Once we wrap up this year's work we will begin the task of getting our lessons together for this fall. I love being able to do this during the summer when we can sit outside and enjoy the sun along with some good books to prep with.

Blessings!
