I always wanted a sister with whom to trade doing hairstyles. Now Elizabeth has taken over Sunday morning hair duty! Doing the “California Brush” on Susie.

Math is more fun with an American Girl friend.
Breathing Space
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 27th, 2017
Our kitchen table often feels a little small when everyone has their school stuff out. Since we had students over for dinner last night, we have our extra table set up, and everyone has more breathing space as they work!

Kit Box School Day
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 23rd, 2017
Homeschooling has been rough the past couple of weeks. I’ve started physical therapy for my knee, but it’s Monday and Wednesday mornings (through the canyon, 45 minutes away), and despite leaving the kids with schoolwork at another homeschool family’s house, we’re obviously not getting as much done as if we were doing school all morning […]
Elizabeth’s First Yoga Class
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends on Feb 19th, 2017
Pepperdine has a sacred yoga class (new age mumbo jumbo replaced by prayer and worship songs) on Sunday nights that is taught by my friend Cecily, the best fitness instructor on campus.

Aria and Peter Finally Meet the Pacific
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Family, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 9th, 2017
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.
Pictures from Legoland, Day Two
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 6th, 2017
One of the benefits of staying at the Legoland hotel is that you get into the park half an hour early to ride five of the rides. We actually got there and checked into our room in time to take advantage of that on both days, but we didn’t know what we were doing the […]
