Our Aspiring Ballerina
Posted in Elizabeth on May 28th, 2016
I always forget to bring the real camera to ballet class, but I’ve caught a few mid-air positions on my phone this week: Her teacher, Lisa, is so happy with how much progress we’ve made this year. Ballet is definitely Elizabeth’s favorite extracurricular!
Extraction, Before and After
Posted in Elizabeth on May 26th, 2016
Poor Elizabeth didn’t get to have either of her two front teeth come out naturally. She knocked out the right one years ago (and we’re so happy to have the adult one coming in at long last!), and yesterday she had to get the left one extracted. It had been loose for months, but the […]
The big girls had their annual check-ups with Dr. Vallance yesterday. Everything was healthy!

Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on May 23rd, 2016

Notice that Janie is wearing her cowgirl boots. On the beach. Not kidding, she wears them everywhere. And […]

Elizabeth was a big fan of Uncle Matthew’s gift. She’s trying her hardest to keep up with Tommy and the neighbors!
Lunch + Living Books
Posted in Children's Books, Elizabeth, Homeschooling on May 18th, 2016
Since we’re switching charter schools this summer, we have to give back all the books that Golden Valley bought for us. I’d hidden away the 4th grade Beast Academy guides so that the kids would have something to look forward to for next year, but I figured we might as well get a bit of […]
Elizabeth at Seven
Posted in Elizabeth on May 13th, 2016
Our little Lizzie isn’t that little anymore. She woke up sunny and cheerful on her 7th birthday, as she does 99% of the time. She has become quite the little babysitter-in-training this past year, dressing Janie, changing her diapers (wet AND dirty, though the latter was against my inclinations), and cleaning and organizing their room.

Neighborhood Campsite
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Janie, Susanna on May 10th, 2016
The neighbor kids are big fans of getting into their parents’ garages and setting up campsites with cones, beach towels, umbrellas, and toys. It’s 6:45, and the kids are still out, camping.
