I changed the blog a little, I really wanted to reflect that we are growing and what better way than with a tree to symbolize that growth?
- Growing roots with faith studies and family mentoring, teaching & reaching with our shepherding the heart philosophy
- Goal to raise strong, whole persons can withstand a bit of weather and changing of seasons
- the branches to symbolize our task of providing a liberal arts education, reaching out to learn in all areas
- our never-ending love of nature, beauty and God's glorious creation
This tree is actually in our backyard, I took the picture this morning as the sun was shining through the branches. It gives me such a peaceful, filled with love and joy feeling.

Thanks Jessica,
I have always loved trees and especially using them as a metaphor for life-
Your the best!
Ohhhh, it's gorgeous!
Very nice!

Trees are one of my favorite things...I like your new banner very much!
What a beautiful photograph and a beautiful metaphor to go along with it! I am loving reading all that you're learning.

It's my favorite title so far! How beautiful!
I love the tree theme too! I'll have to ponder what you said about the symbolism of trees. I've been trying to think of a name for my Latin-enrichment ideas (instead of actual doing any work on it!) and trees & wolves have been my 2 main themes...maybe someday when I'm famous (ha ha) I'll be able to say "And a special thanks to my friend Jessica's blog..." Actually, I can already say that -- you've sure helped me to grow!! :)
