When Tommy stopped eating last week, we figured out that Q’s loss of appetite is partially related to the virus they all had. Tonight she ate pizza again for the first time in months, a generous helping of corn and cherry pudding, and green beans (which I had forgotten about) for dessert! Save

Last Day of School, 2017 Edition!
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jun 9th, 2017
Another year of quality Christian education at Charis Classical Academy is officially complete. We celebrated with chocolate chip pancakes, super easy school tasks (this year, the big kids finished up their math, writing, Latin, spelling, and grammar books, which brought me great type-A satisfaction, leaving room for more project-based learning in those subjects the past […]
Two Santa Barbara Field Trips with Two Extra Kids!
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jun 5th, 2017
To celebrate our last week of school, we took James and Ellis with us to Santa Barbara for the day. First we hit the zoo, where we rushed to all our favorite spots and saw the lion prowl and roar at us. Then we popped in to the Sea Center to pet sharks and starfish […]
Check-ups and Stats, 2017 edition
Posted in Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on May 31st, 2017
I took the kids in for their check-ups in two waves this year. Tommy and Janie went a few weeks ago, and after having both big girls totally melt down for their 4 year check-ups, I was extra prepared with sweet talking and bribes for Janie. She got all three of her shots without crying. […]
To celebrate NO thumb/finger suckers in the house anymore, the girls and I took a very special trip to the Grove to have lunch at the American Girl store cafe! It was a trip several years in the making, but Lizzie just recently fulfilled the requirement. Elizabeth (the doll) and Maryellen got their hair professionally […]
We have two little AG superfans on our hands!
I found one more picture on my camera that I hadn’t downloaded when Grandma and Grandpa were here. It makes me so happy that all four of the kids’ grandparents love reading aloud to the kids and that all four of the kids love being read to!
Another Morning at the Beach

This morning we splurged on breakfast at Paradise Cove Cafe and played at the beach afterwards. The kids were really into the seaweed!
Malibu Lagoon Beach at Low Tide
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on May 19th, 2017
After reading Pagoo, we had to check out our own local tide pools. We saw dozens of huge sea slugs, sea anenomes, crabs, mussels, and mystery worms.
Double Duty Art Museums Field Trip!
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Family, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on May 18th, 2017
I get really stressed out taking the kids to art museums by myself. Docents give me the evil eye, I spend more time reminding the little girls not to get too close to the art than I do actually looking at the art, and it’s just generally exhausting. So we decided to take advantage of […]
