How does a homeschooler change a lightbulb?
First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life.
Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.
Next, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they’ll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill.
On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill.
Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.
And there is light.

The Mueller Family met me bright and early Saturday morning with their eager, cheerful smiles! I, too, was eager…eager to photograph these adorable siblings again. Seth, and his big sister, Erica, are two of the cutest, most loving siblings I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. And their parents, well…its quite obvious that they have modeled for their children a safe, loving and nurturing relationship. Janelle and Tom shared with me a little of their love story, their eyes sparkling as they relived the details of how they met and their first date. For a moment, my shutter was silenced…really professional, I know… but you know how much I love a love story! As the kids collected acorns and tickled their parents, I watched, thru my lens, this lovely family, playing, laughing and strengthening their family bond! And my heart swelled just a bit, and I felt really proud to do what I do. Thank you Mueller Family, for spending your morning playtime with me and allowing me to capture these beautiful memories for you!
