Stopping By Woods

Some homeschooling weeks are slower than others. I appreciate the flexibility. We read Robert Frost's Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. The boys and I memorized it in a couple of days. We had snowflake pancakes and tea, learned a little about poetry and the boys created their own poems, learned a little about Robert Frost and we revisited New England. I'm sure math and reading were also thrown in.

Girly

We embrace femininity around here.

A Change

We are reaching a new phase of parenthood. One child is no longer a toddler. Cedrik hasn't been a toddler for a long time, but our first real transition of this is his starting piano lessons.

He is in love with his teacher, Tawna Love. She expects a lot, and he performs well for her. So far it's a good match.

House Guests

The days after Christmas were spent sleeping, recuperating from the festivities and adjusting to a new home life. 

We built forts, had school which included learning about steam shovels and snowplows. Eloise got into my makeup. Marimer was a cutie. Snow angels. Eloise perfected Brody's scowl. Marie had some horribly long nights. Piggy-backs. And all the kids love Andrew.
