It’s been a really, really rough week around here. Sick little girls=not much sleep=crabby mommy=naughty children=depressed, discouraged mommy. School has been so difficult, and we just got this new computer with an operating system unlike anything I’m used to.

Since we had to head over to Burbank yesterday to bring friends a meal, I figured we might as well make a field trip of it. Turns out the Autry Museum of the American West is free on the second Tuesday of every month! The kids liked it, though it was a quick hour-and-a-half. There’s […]

It’s a classical homeschooler rite of passage, right? The dreaded chicken mummy. What mom in her right mind wants a raw chicken sitting around her house for 40 days? Last week was crazy, but I waited until Sarah brought her boys over and figured it would be fun for James to join in, too. We […]

Janie wanted to color a map of Ancient Egypt, too. And everyone got out their colored pencils when we went to Gardens of the World to sketch with the Boyds.
I haven’t wanted to put up pictures of the kids the past couple of days because it seems like it would make it harder for Peter and Cammy. But today my mom said she wished she could give all my kids big hugs, and the loss reminds us again that we are so blessed that […]
