The kiddos were super excited about their new outfits from Great-Aunt Terri! Here’s a little photo shoot from Palm Sunday morning:

Fun With Grandpa
Posted in Elizabeth, Family, Susanna, Tommy on Apr 3rd, 2012
As usual, my dad fixed all sorts of things while he was here. The kids loved helping him fix the cracked chairs! And they all had to help him play oboe… Traditional playing on the tummy picture… Tommy actually played without biting the reed this time! Oh, the joys of trying to get three children […]
Welcome to our new website! I’m still catching up from last week’s pictures, so I’ll schedule posts for every day this week. Melissa had given my extra tickets for the Long Beach Aquarium, so we headed down there last Monday. It was a great final excursion with Grandma and Grandpa. They got Tommy to pet […]

Why Do We Live North of LA?
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Friends, Susanna, Tommy on Mar 23rd, 2012
Busy Week! On Wednesday, we drove down to Aliso Viejo to pick my mom up from Lisa’s, then headed down to San Diego to see Helen and Anna for a couple days. I knew that Orange County was nice, but I just haven’t ventured down there much. Wow, it’s lovely! Why do we live up […]
Reading By Himself
Posted in Homeschooling, Tommy on Mar 21st, 2012
I’ve waited a couple weeks to post this development because it is kindof unbelievable, but Tommy is reading by himself. In the past month, he’s gone from reading short vowel sound words to real books. We had only reached consonant blends in phonics, but his cool new birthday books motivated him to finish up on […]
I actually don’t know how long Tommy’s tires have been flat–this is just the first time that he has brought it to my attention and asked to do something about it.
