Friday, January 24, 2014. I hardly ever sync my phone and so this is my semi-annual cell phone pics recap post. Probably I should break it up into more than one post but. The Frog wanted to be Ironman for Halloween and wore that costume day and night until Halloween, and by then he had actually outgrown it. he was given Iron Patriot (aka War Machine) from his cousin for Christmas and now he wears that one and Peach will wear this one. The Frog has me take pictures of works he is especially proud of.

Monday, May 4, 2015. After playing sardines during Family Home Evening. Tonight, Peach says after our treat, "I want to play tuna again.". Minutes later, The Frog comes in and says, "Can we keep playing salmon? Wait, what's it called? Update 5/7/15 - I was reading a book about oceanography to The Frog and on the page talking about plankton it was anchovies were mentioned as eating plankton. Upon hearing about anchovies,. The Frog perks up and says: "anchovies? The Frog: "You know. that game!

Wednesday, December 24, 2014. I can't believe how busy life is with homeschooling! I am so behind on updating the blog. I suppose I should have known. but really! The Frog has joined the Tiger Cub Scouts, which he loves. He just earned his Bobcat badge and really liked touring the local firehouse. He loves to read picture books out loud to himself every night. His favorite things to do are put together large lego sets at Gampie's house and play Minecraft :). Aside from school for the kids, I have been ke...

Saturday, March 14, 2015. I love math and I love to bake and I love to eat baked goods, so Pi day is definitely my favorite fake holiday :). In case you've been living under a rock and don't know why this is the best Pi day you will ever experience. Pi or π, is just a ratio. Take any circle or cylinder - your favorite can of soup? It goes on forever and never repeats. So, today is special because the date is 3/14. (3.14 get it? But hold the phone because we get a March 14th every year. This. March 15, 20...

Tuesday, December 24, 2013. Christmas Eve. The Frog and Peach are having a sleep-over. Me: So, kids. Tomorrow is Christmas, which means I want to make sure you know what is going to happen. What is the first thing you do when you wake up? The Frog: OPEN PRESENTS! The Frog: Open Jesus's present. What if an ornament falls off the tree and breaks? Or if a stocking falls down? Me: nobody is to go downstairs until mommy and daddy wake up! Looking forward to sleeping in this Christmas. :). Links to this post.

Friday, August 22, 2014. It has been SOOO long since I've logged anything here, but I swear I have a good excuse. 2) moving to a remote place in MA that has no internet reception or cell service. 3) moving again, finally to our new home in NY. I've learned a lot these last few weeks. A Lot. We got a minivan) using their wireless. The kids would watch a movie in the back on their iPads and I would scour craigslist and zillow while Jay would catch up on his gazillion emails he got over the last 2 days.

Wednesday, April 30, 2014. Hazel is 18 Months! I can't believe it! My babiest baby is 1.5 years old! I really have not been as good about documenting anything lately, and I feel particularly bad about how little I've gushed over Hazel (especially since I've been able to appreciate the baby-stage so much more this time. I guess 3rd time's the charm) on this blog. She is so so SO cute! I just can't get over it! I can see why she gets manhandled so much - nobody can get enough of the cuteness! She is starti...

Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Peach: Hey, mom, can you put my milk in the fridge so it doesn't get soggy? Links to this post. Wednesday, October 15, 2014. The kids request the Frozen soundtrack in the car. (and now that we rarely go anywhere that takes less than 15 minutes to get to, that's a lot of soundtrack time). Followed by whispered instructions for how I'm supposed to respond like Elsa. Even The Frog will chime in if someone starts singing "For the first time in forever.". Links to this post. This is...

Friday, June 6, 2014. So, why are we moving again? The short version is Jay didn't get approved for "continuing faculty status" (their version of "tenure") at BYU. We were really surprised. He far surpassed all their outlined requirements but those pesky politics. I think Jay was advocating for too much change too soon, and it didn't sit will with those folks. Anyway, we lucked out because when Jay started the application process last fall, Vassar was one of his top 2 choices, so we feel extremely blessed.
