End of Preschool

Zade just finished up his last day of preschool.  He's had a great time this year with his teachers: Mrs. Sharon and Mrs. Valerie. They had an end of year picnic this week as well, which was a lot of fun, even when a fierce, but brief rain storm came tearing through and we all had to take cover.  

The homeschool group that Tara is hoping to join up with this next year had a fun field trip on Friday to Tamarack farm. Zade got to feed the animals.


He also got to do a felting project, with wool from the sheep, which you rub together with water to make felt.

I spent the last part of the week out at Ohio State University presenting a paper for a conference.  I was pleasantly surprised how nice the campus was out there.  I had a really nice time, and I think the paper was well received.

One of the harder aspects of this week was that at the beginning of the week Tara got sick, and we were asked to give talks at the end of the week (i.e., today).  So with all that and the conference, it was a busy week.  Both of our talks seemed to go well though, so we were grateful.
