Our new church is continuing to bring blessings. Yesterday we met up at Underwood Farms with another homeschooling family from PCC. Janette is from the Midwest, most recently came from PA, taught at a Christian school before having kids, and homeschools her four boys. They live in Sherman Oaks, so we won’t be able to […]
Tommy is really running hard in soccer. This weekend the other Tommy passed him a ball right in front of the net for a perfect shot by our Tommy. Great teamwork, Tommys! Despite scoring a goal, it was a rough day as the other #10 taunted him and knocked him over right at the end […]

After a day of adjustment, we’re pretty much back to normal around here. Bug is making messes… And the kids are conscientiously coloring for school. Latin vocab. And as usual, Q is hamming it up for the camera…

Tommy had a grand time with Grandma and Grandpa this weekend–here’s a picture they sent of him at the Cider Mill! I’m a little bit jealous!

We’re learning about the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt by Pharaoh Menes, and today the kids colored reliefs based on stories of his life. And of course they insisted on taking pictures to put on the blog. It’s quite a meta life they live–should I be concerned?

Last week, the entire CCA student body spent an afternoon in Sumerian garb, making tin foil jewelry and cuneiform seals out of clay. I remember doing the same project at Morningstar Homeschool, 25 years ago!

A friend just told us that the LA Philharmonic rehearses for their concerts at the Hollywood Bowl the morning of the performance–and anyone can go in and listen for free! So we packed up a lunch and a bunch of snacks, grabbed some journals and colored pencils, and drove down to Hollywood this morning to […]
