Cami waited so patiently for her birthday month. She was counting down for two months! This was the first year she was to have a ‘friend party’ AND she could get her ears pierced! It was definitely something worth counting down to! Cami’s party was 10 days before her birthday, due to scheduling at the [...]

Two days after returning from Singapore, Cami had a dance competition. Without having practiced with her teacher for two weeks, Cami was a little nervous.

Royal Opera House This week we had the chance to take a homeschooling field trip! With the two other girls in school, we haven’t done as many fieldtrips as we have in the past. But, when a group of women from church were going to check out the Royal Opera for a free lunch time [...]

A year has come and gone since Caleb’s last gymnastics training camp in Bulgaria. This year we had a change of scenery as we went to Girona, Spain. Having learned from last year, a couple moms and I took over the planning of the trip to make sure we had a hotel with a pool, [...]

Between moves, different age requirements for swimming lessons, and traveling, Cami never quite had the opportunity for swimming lessons. This year she made sure we took what time we had and enrolled her. The first week, she had a wonderful man who made swimming fun for all the kids. He knew how to fool around, [...]

A spur of the moment trip to the theatre is never a bad thing. A friend was given tickets for Matilda the Musical and invited the girls of our family along. There is a reason the musical has already won so many awards. It was amazing!! If you get a chance to see it, don’t [...]

Yesterday our youngest family member turned 6 years old. It was a happy day for her and one of mixed emotions for me. So far 6 has been a magical number as her separation anxiety that has plagued us for MONTHS has vanished. Hallelujah!! Cami’s birthday celebrations started the Wednesday before, as she took cupcakes [...]
