19/365 Wednesdays get really busy for us because Matthew is taking a basketball class, and Alayna is taking gymnastics. This Wednesday, we also added in a trip to public skate to meet up with some other home-school families. It was a packed day full of physical activity. Alayna looks so much older this year in…
18/365 We are looking forward to Friday when our classes resume at our home-school co-op. For the first time, I will be teaching two classes at co-op. One of my classes is called “All in the Rhythm.” I am going to teach lots of hand-clapping rhymes, like Miss Mary Mack, as well as jumping rope….

This is a double post from my daily photo blog. I’m starting to really get in the hang of posting a photo every day over there, and I’m enjoying it more than I thought I would! But for those of you who read in a reader or via e-mail and you don’t check the link…
16/365 Our ice skating rink is finally complete. It turned out far better than I ever anticipated! Because we started so late building it, we couldn’t even consider trying to level the yard first. It’s funny that even in a yard that seems fairly flat, a few inches of decline can make a huge difference…
15/365 I am planning to take one photo a week of my kids standing in front of the same tree. I don’t try to make them pose or wear matching outfits. You can see they have been working on their snow hill this morning. Here’s Week #2: 1 of 52
14/365 Today was my husband’s 42nd birthday. Because his birthday is so soon after Christmas, I always have a difficult time thinking of good gifts for him. This year was no exception. I actually waited until this morning to even go shopping because it took me that long to figure out what to get him!…
13/365 Before Christmas, we were reading one of our home-school books together when Jayda saw this woman on the page. She leaned over and gave her a kiss. Then she kissed her again. And again. She wouldn’t stop kissing that page. For the next few days, if we needed to distract her so we could…
12/365 The snow is back and the kids could not be more excited. Before Christmas, they had built a really nice snowboard and sledding hill in the front yard. They packed the recycling bins with snow to form bricks and then built a mound that was about 5 feet high. It had a smaller slope…
11/365 We had a playdate today with another home-schooling family. We are so thankful we have gotten to know this family. Out of the five children, they have a boy between the ages of my two boys, a younger daughter and a 1-year-old born just a month before Jayda. It’s hard to find time for…
