WordPress finally let me upload pictures from last week! We invited our little neighbor Hannah over for a homeschool art afternoon and did our first official watercolor tutorial. Our teacher told us to have fun and be kind to yourself instead of comparing to everyone else.

We got back from vacation and saw Dr. Vallance in two waves this week. The only real concern is that Tommy and Elizabeth aren’t getting enough calcium, so we’re going to be getting them a supplement.
