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

Derek recently found out about a really neat beach restaurant in Malibu, so we took Grandma and Grandpa there today and spent the morning at the beach! Janie LOVED the water. She just wanted to stand and get splashed by waves over and over again. When someone got tired of holding her up and tried […]

With Grandma and Grandpa M here, we’re celebrating all three girls’ birthdays this week! Susie and Janie enjoyed getting to blow out another candle, and Elizabeth is happy to start her birthday celebrations early.

Thought I’d give a few more pictures of what our school days have been like… On a normal school day, Elizabeth is tracing her numbers, Tommy is creating a map based on descriptions in his geography book, and Susie is playing with the math rods.

Unfortunately, it was also spring break, so Underwood decided to jack up their prices and strew tacky Easter eggs everywhere for the week. (Somehow I don’t find enormous pumpkins tacky–I just object to minivan sized Easter baskets.) The farmhand yelled […]

I’ve been too busy to get this up until now, but we took Janie back in for a chest check on Wednesday. The hardcore antibiotics had cleared up the bronchitis and ear infections, so her breathing was clean. She had even gained a whole pound in the past week–when she started feeling better, she started […]

Well, we were at the doctor’s office three times this week. On Monday, Janie’s crabbiness and lethargy of the past three and a half weeks was explained–she had a double ear infection, quite bad, and yucky sounding breathing. We got her on antibiotics which turned her into a new baby within two days, but we […]
