Poor Q has been fighting something off this week. She was acting unusually lethargic Monday and Tuesday, but I thought it was just catching up on sleep or teething or something. Then she woke up from her (3.5 hour) nap yesterday with a 101 fever. And last night she was up twice, feverish. I cancelled […]

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 […]

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. And then there are days like yesterday! PJ called me […]
Once upon a time, we worried that Susie wasn’t very verbal. That was silly. She is her big sister’s shadow in everything, and if Elizabeth wants to talk about something, Q does too. Her vocabulary and sentence complexity have grown a ton, though she’s still saying “I goed” and “you comed.” It’s not uncommon for […]

Since Ben’s birthday was yesterday, we joined them at Underwood Farms for a playdate party. 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 […]

You can tell that Susanna has a big sister AND a big brother–this morning she set up a “grils-only tea party” but made sure to include “a sword for killing bad guys.”
