Juniper Autumn's (last) First Day of Preschool
September 9, 2014

As of this writing I have no clue what next year holds.  Will we homeschool?  Will I send her away for a 9 hour day (counting the 2 hour roundtrip bus ride) to Kindergarten? Will we move?  Four years ago we couldn't conceptualize this predicament, let alone how soon it would come.
