I love our writing curriculum, which gives the kids a taste of all sorts of great literature and whets their appetite for more! The girls are cuddled up listening to Little Women after today’s Writing With Ease lesson. I love my little women!

Guess who taught herself how to ride her bike without training wheels last night? Lately, Susie has been tearing around the pad on her bike (with training wheels), and she decided she didn’t need four wheels anymore.

It has been so incredibly foggy for Peter and Aria’s whole visit! This is what it’s mostly looked like all day long–yeah, that’s all of campus covered in fog, with just the top of the grad school side showing: But since today was their last full day, we went to the beach, anyway. We could […]
It wouldn’t surprise anyone that Aria is extremely musical.
Peter and Aria have been here for 24 hours, and it’s mostly been so foggy that we’ve just stayed inside and played. Cousin bonding over Magformers and piano!
