Today

We took the girls to the science center and the park today, my Waldorf mama friend and I. There was a dinosaur exhibit at the science center and Zoe loves dinosaurs. But the second we walked through the door she was terrified and begged to leave. So we saw the permanent exhibits instead, which never get too old for them. Afterward, we headed to the park with our lunch, since it was such a warm and beautiful day. We ate, the girls played and then we walk along the bridge that trails through woods, overlooking the duck pond.

I love our time with these friends and the girls really do, too. The mama and I have so much in common and share much the same goals for what we want for our children. So far, we haven't found any other Waldorf inspired homeschoolers nearby to join us, but to us, the quality of the connection we do have is much more valuable than a large group of families with not much in common and dissimilar goals and values.
By the way, some of you say that you wish you could find other Waldorf inspired families in your area. So I wanted to tell you, I found her by posting in the Mothering forums, under 'Finding Your Tribe'. You may not find gobs of like minded folks but perhaps one or two families like we did, and, really, that means the world to find someone you can really connect with.

River fell asleep in the car on the way home. As soon as I unbuckled her car seat she opened her eyes and said "Quack quack! Quack quack!".

I love random toddler exclamations! My youngest "woke up" just a little while ago and kept asking me "all done? all done?" and then promptly went back to sleep. Goofy kids. (:

Random: The green and white fairy gnome in your banner? So. Much. Love. Seriously, can I just come and play at your house? (:
We are leaving our home and supportive community for a six month adventure. I so hope we find families with similar values. It does make all of the difference!
Julie, beautiful photos, and it sounds like you had a wonderful time! Having a like-minded Mama friend who can be a support to you is wonderful!
i think that it so wonderful that you have found a like-minded friend to share your lives and your homeschooling journey with. i'm a quiet person, so i think that having just a friend or two is ideal. i'm really hoping to make a similar connection sometime soon, as we begin homeschooling: there is actually a waldorf-inspired homeschoolers email list for my area, so i'm hoping to make a connection there.

i love your new blog header! we have been reading peter rabbit every night in our house right now. it really looks like spring has come early to your neck of the woods! i am just a little north of you, i think, so i wonder if that means that spring is on its way here too. it certainly has been warm lately!
I have to confess I have no idea what Waldorf is - I'll look it up some time.
But it looks like fun was had by all! So good to see you're doing well!!!!!
