 E3 and E4 just being together. 🙂

 It’s taken three months, but I’m almost there. I have 24 stitches to graft, and 2 ends to weave in. Maybe by April she’ll be able to wear them? 🙂 Good thing wool has cooling properties and we’ll have cool nights for a while yet.

 E2 is really enjoying his new loft bed, particularly the space underneath. He often tucks blankets all around the outside for a “clubhouse.” He also uses the desk every day- it’s great for Legos! We celebrated Pi Day with pizza for lunch, and had fun figuring out it’s circumference and the circumference of all the […]

 K’s dad made this dollhouse for E3 for her birthday last year.  She loves it- it stays in the living room for the most part, and she plays with it almost every day. I love to watch my kids play. Their creativity often amazes me; they most often play with something different than the designers of the […]

 When I laid E4 down, the nightlight caught my eye.  I had fun trying different aperture and shutter settings to see how they changed the light.

 E4 has been able to sit up without support for a couple of weeks now. She can’t stay up for more than a few minutes yet, but that time just keeps getting longer. I can’t believe I haven’t taken a picture of her sitting before now: I really have no excuse. The whole clan spent the afternoon at K’s parents’ house. […]

 I started reading and studying about homeschooling when E1 was only a year old, so I have had time to learn about many of the different theories and philosophies concerning methods of homeschooling. (I probably have over-studied it, but that’s another post.) Logically, mentally, I believe totally that traditional methods of teaching are not the best- that kids learn best and […]

 There’s just something special about holding a sleeping baby.

 I am fascinated with macro photography, although I haven’t tried it very much. I love that it gives different perspectives to everyday objects and shows the beauty in the ordinary. Or at least it can. 🙂 I know this isn’t a true macro photo, but it was fun trying to make an interesting photo with […]
