I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

Sarah and I took the kids to Underwood Somis again to pick blueberries. We were smart this year and went early enough that it was mostly pleasant and overcast while we picked. Tommy went right to work, picking a whole pint in no time. The girls coordinated with James to fill his. Susie got help […]

Every morning, as soon as Janie has on her clothes (and sometimes before), she waddles hurriedly over to the closet and puts on her pink flower sandals (hand-me-downs from Q).

We had our last CBS meeting yesterday, which meant our last homeschool park day afterwards! Over the past three years, these afternoons are pretty much the highlights of our month. Since we’re not doing a formal birthday party for Elizabeth next week, we brought cupcakes and had everybody sing “Happy Birthday”–with some babies not pictured, […]
