is what we’re having here, and we all needed it. I have to work a couple hours tonight, but that’s it for the whole entire day. Saturday and Sunday are each going to be twelve hours, plus showing houses in a snowstorm is not something I look forward to. But today, we’re soaking it up–the […]

Bright sunshine, 70 degrees, kids outside raking leaves with their dad. Julia’s so self-sufficient these days she thinks she can use a key to unlock the garage all by herself. You go, Girl. Last night we had Heidi’s dog here being babysat while they were at birth classes again. Tim and the dog, Morgan, have

Tonight I was working, so I told Kari to take some pictures of them cleaning up the back yard, so I wouldn’t miss everything. She obliged. After this, their dad took them on a bike ride, so that was good. Last night they were at a wedding–here are a couple cute pictures from that. Here
Tim’s in vision therapy this fall. It’s going well. He’s going to be up to speed at reading shortly, probably by spring he’ll be at grade level. This is why we started homeschooling in the first place–dyslexia. It’s a genetic thing–half the kids are dyslexic. They call things like this learning disabilities, but I don’t

Here’s Tim demonstrating the latest little building kit. love, Val

Last night t.c. slept over, in celebration of Tim’s birthday. We had a quiet night last night, and a very fun day today–lots of legos, a lot of fun. I took them grocery shopping this afternoon to get a few things for supper. The store has these horrible little carts that say, “Shopper in Training.”
We were at the lake this weekend, all of us. As the week went by and the teenagers around here discussed inviting friends, I had the realization that the big brothers and sisters, brothers and sisters in law, grandsons, nephews… were all going to be there. Friends would be welcome, but we would have nowhere
It’s too hot today for anything, close to 100, humid as a jungle. We went to the pool again during the afternoon. It should be cooler tomorrow. After a while, I pitched a big lightweight plastic ball to them, and they took turns batting it with a kickboard. It’s a bit clunky, but still pretty
