One last field trip before Annie (hopefully) joins us this week. We’ve gotten to do a lot of field trips with the Cardonas this fall!

A Visit from Regina!
Posted in Friends on Oct 21st, 2018
Okay, Hillsdale friends, you might be a little jealous. Guess who brought her crew to Malibu this weekend?! See? Regina and I were in the same place at the same time! For the first time since Janie was a baby and Dominick was in utero. We finally got to meet all three DeBord kids (though […]
Skirball Center with the Whites
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Aug 11th, 2018
I’ve been hearing about the Skirball Center and their famous Noah’s Ark exhibit for the past seven years we’ve been out here, but Janelle finally motivated me to go this week! Thursdays are free, but you have to get in line to get timed entry tickets for the Noah’s Ark exhibit, and it is no […]

Abby came up after dinner tonight, and the girls blasted the Roar of Love soundtrack and danced like crazies.
Missoula Marathon 5K and Kids Fun Run!
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Jul 21st, 2018
Anna had the great idea to have a bunch of us sign up for races in Missoula during the reunion. She, Bethany and Keith, Carver and I did the 5K, and the 7-11 year olds did the Kid’s 1.2 Mile. We all finished in respectable times! I hate running, but I actually had a lot […]
More Montana Pictures
Posted in Friends on Jul 20th, 2018
I realized a day into our drive out to Montana that I had forgotten my real camera here on my desk. So frustrating. But I tried to take a lot of pictures on my phone, especially of the kids playing together!
Montana Reunion: So Many Games
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jul 19th, 2018
We might like our games just a little. Popular choices this summer: Secret Hitler, Exploding Kittens, Dixit, Terraforming Mars, Polite Society, Family Business.
The Talcotts have a motor boat, kayaks, tubes, paddleboard, water skis, and a sailboat. We were just in and out of the water all week! The neighbors had the kids all come over and decorate trophies for a big race they’re having next week, so we even got arts and crafts.
Four families, eighteen kids, two cabins, one lake, countless book discussions, two races, one week of wonderful fellowship with some of the dearest people in the world!
Busy Summer Days
Posted in California, Children's Books, Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jun 28th, 2018
I thought that we had a pretty low-key summer planned, but we actually have barely caught our breath all month. This week the kids are doing just a six-day swimming lesson session to kick start their skills before a summer at the pool. We couldn’t find anyone to teach lessons on campus, so we’re driving […]
