all of us
It is our third major world city in just over a month. For the girls, it is all becoming a bit of a muddle as to what happened where. Homeschooling is a bit of a misnomer in that it is more like walking schooling. We walk a lot!!! Today, our first day in Paris was […]
The Lauridsen’s have come and gone. Their much anticipated visit did not disappoint. Our girls have enjoyed playing with their girls at least once a month for about six years during our monthly wine club get together. We spent three fabulous days together. The girls were delighted to have friends to play with, as […]

Yesterday Eliana was bouncing off the walls. I could feel her energy bursting to be out of the house and at a park. I was reminiscent of when Anton was little and I’d have to make sure I got him outside to the park at least once a day. His energy was just too big […]
I am completely overwhelmed with the enormity of getting to see… The Rosetta Stone in person. The tool that allowed western man to understand egyptian hieroglyphics at the The British Museum. It is big but not massive compared to some of the statues, and the writing is so tiny. How did they do that on […]
We arrived last night without a hitch. Day One New York City, Manhattan, Mid Town, 45th Ave. between 5th & 6th. You’ve heard of 5th Avenue and 45th & 7th is Times square/Broadway/Theater district. We have a fabulous location and our rooms are quite nice with a small kitchenette. Today we girls had a bit […]
