Mothering a Hedgehog & a Butterfly

It's been a long time since I blogged, so I thought I would give it a bash.

We have finally reached the decision to homeschool both kids, hence the title of this post.

Matt is still my hedgehog - prickly on the outside,
soft little creature on the inside & hard to really get close to... 

& Amy-Grace is my butterfly - flitting from flower to flower,
much like a fairy, always happy, dancing & full of life.

It's amazing how different these two are from each other.
Both can learn so much from each other.

The butterfly inspires the hedgehog to look up once in a while
& see the world around him.
The hedgehog teaches the butterfly that it's a good idea
to put your feet on the ground every now & again
or you will fly away on a breeze.

& I guess that makes me the moon in this picture -
watching over both of them.... 

a little whimsy for today....
