Okay, this was last night, Lydia working on math surrounded by gingerbread. She has a math tutor this year, well worth the money. This lovely woman, a real estate client, an engineer, agreed to tutor her, two 45 minute sessions a week. It’s helping tremendously. These were taken in church this morning. Lydia was the […]

We went. It was beautiful, wonderful, perfect. First was a church service, a Catholic mass. We are not Catholic, but it’s still lovely. Then the kids sang.

She has tricks from Dominos for making the crust crisper and lighter. We decided this summer that this little play yard fence could go away. We originally put up for

There are very few pictures, unless others took them. There was too much to do. Late in the afternoon, the babies arrived and congregated in the family room and back yard. This was too hazardous. The hill is narrow and they roll real crooked. This dining room set was in my parents home when I
