    Spring is here!

    This is what we call our spring celebration. Egg hunts and dying eggs and eating spring candy. I love this picture of Taivan. He is in typical fashion, meaning no shoes. I can barely keep shoes on this boy, and thankfully so far it hasn’t been a big deal. He wasn’t very excited about picking

  • Reasons to slow down

    For some reason the weeks are flying by faster than normal and so is my memory of them. And somehow I let last week go by without writing about anything. I know I was crazy busy going to well-child appointments and vet appointments and cello lessons and soccer and school somehow fit in between all

    Caterpillars and butterflies

    Lasts year when we ordered the materials for science, we also ordered a couple of science kits. Included in the elementary kit was this fun butterfly garden kit with a free redemption code for caterpillars that will turn into butterflies. I haven’t been strictly going by the book with science, especially for the younger kids.

  • Untitled Post

    This week has really flown by. I’m trying to remember what has even happened in the past few days. I can remember today, but past that I feel like I have to dig deep into my brain. The things that stand out in my mind are Taivan singing a lot of songs, mostly the ABC

    Week without Dad or Weak without Dad?

    This week has gone by fairly quickly considering our favorite person is not here. Tom left Tuesday morning early to go help his parent move from Billings to Ogden. He will be coming home early Monday morning. We are very excited for his return and are very glad he doesn’t have to leave us very

  • Georgia’s Homeschool Day at the Capitol

    Georgia’s Homeschool Day at the Capitol

    Today was Homeschool Day at the Capitol for Georgians. I’ve known about it since last year, but I wasn’t brave enough to tackle it last year because we were pretty new to the area and new to homeschooling and my little ones seemed much littler a year ago. So this year I was definitely interested

  • Rambling

    Rambling

    In the last week, Tom, Taivan, and Tommy all came down with the walking pneumonia, and because I knew the symptoms was able to get them to the doctor before they got bad. I hope I don’t get it. And yes. I have knocked on wood, but will that really change anything? Who knows. I’m

  • A happy time.

    I have had a few things on my mind lately that I feel I need to record somewhere so today’s entry is going to be more like a journal entry than a blog post. But since one of the biggest reasons I am writing this blog is for that very purpose, I guess whoever else

    A little science mixed with sickness and other forms of education

    Since my last post, two of my kids have been diagnosed with pneumonia. Walking pneumonia or atypical pneumonia, thankfully. I had heard of it before Monday when I took Matthew in to the doctor. You know that when it has been a week and your son is sounding, looking and obviously feeling worse, you should

    Begin again. And make lists if it helps.

    So one of my new year’s resolutions/goals is to write on this blog once a week all year long. This will be my first post in almost a year and so many good things have happened to our family that haven’t been documented as I feel they should. Some posts might be catching up for
