Long Beach Aquarium with the Daughritys
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Jan 24th, 2017
Sunde and I braved crazy rain last Friday to do a homeschool field trip to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. I just haven’t done as much ocean study this year as I’d wanted, so it was good to get back there and spend another day looking around. Because the Daughrity kids love […]
What’s Going On Here
Posted in California, Fostering, Friends, Tommy on Jan 22nd, 2017
It’s been maybe the longest stretch I’ve ever gone without posting on this blog, mostly because getting back into the swing of things after Christmas “vacation” has been really, really hard. The kids actually readjusted back to SoCal life really easily and have been remarkably well-behaved. I’m struggling because I’m behind on cleaning (despite a […]
When we came through before Christmas, we had one day of leftover snow before it melted. The kids were out sledding right away, of course, but we were afraid that would be the only day of snow play we’d get in Columbia. When we came back this week, it was brown and bare, but midweek, […]

They tore down the original building to build apartments, but fortunately the first floor is as much of a replica of the original as possible. This was our first time back in CoMo since they reopened. The […]
On New Year’s Eve, Nona got to meet Sterling and enjoy the presence of all six of her great-grandchildren! Three boys and three girls! Everybody’s favorite Christmas baby wasn’t upset by the adoration of four generations of relatives. The kids are all enthusiastic members of the Sterling Cobb fan club. And Henry just led the […]
Michigan Science Center
Posted in Elizabeth, Family, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Dec 30th, 2016
We used our Santa Barbara Natural History Museum membership to get into the Michigan Science Center in downtown Detroit today. The kids especially loved the exhibits on making highways, steel, and automobiles! They had fun watching a science if combustion show that featured blowing things up, of course. Definitely a uniquely Detroit museum, and we’ll […]
It was so exciting to play in the snow! (And come inside for hot cocoa) All dressed up for the Christmas Eve service!
