Well, I'm back from the ICHE conference, safe and sound.  We had a very good time.  I went with a few girlfriends while dh held down the fort.  We had two newbies with us and it was a delight to show them the ropes!  I went for all three days and I'm tired.  It is a lot of information to take in and I don't exactly sleep well at hotels.  Of course, we stayed up way too late talking and laughing.

       I bought several things for next year and looked at things for future consideration.  I came home with Explode the Code A, B, and C for my ds 3 1/2.  I also bought him some Bob books and a writing tablet.  I also picked up a lapbook catalog since that is so popular with my friends' kids.

       I bought the new First Language Lessons book to remediate grammar with ds10.  I also bought Sequential Spelling to try.  And I'm giving him Book 4 from the Kingdom Series by Chuck Black.  I already have Saxon 65 and Sonlight Core 3/4 for next year.  He'll be doing a creation class at our co-op next fall for his science, so I still need to buy those books.

       I came home with Saxon Advanced Math for dd almost 13 (with the Dive cd).  I also picked up the Apologia Anatomy book and ordered the Sonlight Core 100 IG to go with the core I bought used.  She'll be doing Spanish 2, which I don't need to buy anything for --  which is nice.  And I'll have to buy her BJU government book in July.  I picked up a book for her called Do Hard Things.

      I met a fellow blogger at the conference, Jen, who was the Rosetta Stone Rep.  Her sweet daughter was there, too.  ( I should have taken a picture.)  You can find her at www.jeneralities.com .  The Tapestry of Grace table also had a fellow blogger, Peakmore Academy, right here on HSB.  We're everywhere!!

      Well, I'm off to bed 'cuz I keep yawning..........
