The Family-Centered Learning Conference in Lancaster is fast approaching!
I am hoping to meet many of you there. How wonderful it will be to put faces to the names that have come to mean so much to me over the years! If you have not purchased your ticket, it is not too late. Please consider making the trip.

Alas! We will not arrive in the states until the 25th and will spending the weekend celebrating a birthday for my dd (she will be 13). Hope it is a great conference (and I do plan on purchasing your book)!

Hey...didya hear?
At the IHM conference in Virginia this weekend Laura Berquist gave a huge and lengthy endorsement of your book, Haystack full of Needles. She positively gushed about it and encouraged everyone there to get it.
I was so proud for you!

I stumbled onto your blog while looking for images for "making the sign of the cross" (I'm a confessional Lutheran) and I just had to stop and compliment you on your lovely blog. It's beautiful, and so are your dear children. :) Bravo!

I so wish I could come Alice. I could certainly use the encouragment that the conference will offer.
I also have to tell you, I couldn't stop looking at the photo's of the Twelth Night production. Your children are so blessed to have such a rich environment to grow up in.
