Week 3 '05-'06

After a busy, busy weekend filled with Letterboxing on Whidbey Island and my trip to Vancouver, BC with my mom and sister, we are ready for our third week of Ambleside! I must say, I love this program. I can't escape the beauty of delving into beautiful works of literature and filling our minds and hearts with their treasures.
