Are there any other amateur astonomers out there? I’ve been known to wake our entire family up in the middle of the night if I see something worth (or not) going out to view! One time it was snowing and cold, but that didn’t stop me. I still drug the …

For those who like to follow statistics as much as I do, you’ll enjoy the following report recently issued by HSLDA (Homeschool Legal Defense Association). I realize there are many aspects of homeschooling which are scrutinized by those who don’t see it as a viable alternative to public schools. The …

Box of our children’s artwork which we’ve accumulated over several years. Any ideas what I should do with this box? These things are TOO cute to toss out, but I don’t have any more room to store them on the bookshelves or on their desks.

This is our one and only bird house which sits outside our library room window. We have several problems with bird houses….CATS…..several of them. So, unfortunately, my fear is that the bird houses which are supposed to be a nice place for birds to come eat and be safe have …

Tim worked a lot this winter, but the few days he wasn’t able to work he offered to help Nathan or Josh with their school work. Here he’s helping Nathan with his preschool… hmmm… no wonder the boys would rather have dad help them instead of me (LOL).

Libby is a family friend… good friend to our oldest dd! She is studying to be an art teacher and has graciously offered to give art lessons to Em and one of her friends several times a month. This week they are doing some sort of calligraphy project. They have …

Back in December, Nathan’s preschool class started this egg head project growing grass out of the top of an egg shell. They decorated the egg and added eyes. It’s a cute little thing. Nathan has been watering it and taking care of it for several weeks. Today (1-27-07), he decided …
