I am attending the CAPE convention this weekend (Christian Association of Parent Educators). It is surprisingly inspiring and uplifting to be surrounded by so many like minded families. I take great joy in seeing well rounded, wholesome, and polite teenagers walking around helping as volunteers. It reminds me that we aren't necessarily leading our children down a road of being socially awkward and strange. There are so many talented, wonderful children out there. I left the convention last night feeling exceedingly blessed to be able to school our children at home.
