Alice Art

 Alice's work needs documentation. Her work is (unbiased) truly unique and is just overflowing with personality. Must be shared.

 
Her teacher narrates what the picture is of. 

Alice also writes us short books on a general basis, here is one of her latest:

Myrna is clearly on a no-carb diet, that's why she always wears a caftan.



This is Myrna in the bath that I guess fell on her from the previous page.

 This work Alice titled "The Rainbow Abyss".

Then I had to make it into a dog. Sorry. Now the dog's soul is a rainbow abyss.
This is our house.
Our Family. I think the last wedding we were at was last June.
We haven't had Alice's birthday yet, so I guess she is just planning.
I have stepped away from helping Alice get dressed. It was hard at first, but I am so delighted by her choices, more creative than my ascetics could ever hold up to. She likes to plan out what her outfit will look like on her everyday. You can't see, but her underwear is under the skirt.
This girl. Sigh. LOVE

Kindergarten graduation!

 Ah, the pomp and circumstance of a Kindergarten graduation.  The wonderful Principle Korth at the podium... The event began with the graduates singing a song to their teacher: And then the main event! Then we adjourned to the playground for cake and popsicles.  Alice with one of her closer friend, Chloe. And her AMAZING teacher who we will miss so much, Ms. Heintzelman! It has been a really good year! Alice has bloomed in reading and math and particularly in her interest and understanding of sociology and science. She even made a few friends! I can say I learned more from than even Brock's first year of public school. I began volunteering on Friday mornings in December after her school received 100 new refugee students from Venezuela (her school went from 200 to 300 in a day!). I did not want to volunteer in the classroom, but instead wanted to help out with admin, but that was not where humans were needed, so I ended up in the neighborhood third grade class. This was way outside

Camping Disc Golf 2017

Uh. When the going gets rough, the rough roughs it! And off we head to Michigan for our annual camping and disc golfing extravaganza. We are last minute campers and it worked to our advantage this year. As everything else was booked, we ended up at a little "secret" campsite we know of in western MI called Timberview. The nice old man that runs it got sick of loud campers, so he pulled all listings off of the internet. It's not on google maps. We were lucky enough to drive by one year and just stop in. And now that we have a kid, he set us up in the nicest secluded campsite, of which we took two pictures (we're bad at this sometimes.) There was wonderful hiking, an assortment of mushrooms to discover, and a giant hill of majestic old-growth pines that Brock aptly named "pine tree heaven." It's also quite refreshing to be in a site where you are actually allowed to gather your own firewood, and it's low-traffic enough that there is plenty.

 Brock was given the assignment of memorizing the poem "If", by Sir Rudyard Kipling. It is a wonderful poem, here was his submission to his teacher. They were also called on at random times through out the year to recite various verses impromptu in class. So deep.
