I was going to try to scan them in or something, but taking pictures was faster. Tommy: Elizabeth: Susie (note the footprint where she stepped on it):
Sketching at Gardens of the World
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Susanna, Tommy on Mar 6th, 2014
We try to do some kind of field trip with Katie and Jack every week or so. This week, we stayed in TO and visited the Gardens of the World Botanical Gardens with sketching materials.
Frustrating Week
Posted in California, Tommy on Feb 28th, 2014
So yesterday it was 68 degrees and sunny–a perfect day to play outside, right? Not if you live in SoCal.

Tommy Blogs: My First Trip to the Symphony
Posted in California, Homeschooling, Music, Tommy on Feb 26th, 2014

He’s definitely not a little boy anymore–he is all big kid!–but he has retained a sweetness that his mommy and little sisters sure appreciate. When he’s […]

The Sea Center in Santa Barbara
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 13th, 2014
This week, Katie and Jack met us up in Santa Barbara again for me to buy my new camera lens (!!!) and check out the little sea center that’s part of our SB Natural History Museum membership. It was pretty small, but I think we actually enjoyed ourselves more than at the Monterey Bay Aquarium […]
