Long Time No Blog

Whew, it's been a year since I posted, and over a year since this blog has seen new pictures! I guess my excuse is the time-consuming nature of homeschooling, but we've taken on other activities too, and while the kids are older and more self-sufficient, they also don't actually nap any more . . .

Meanwhile, we've done a year of living and a lot less picture-taking. I can't exactly catch up at this point, but I hope to post a smattering of pictures and doings, probably in no particular order.

These ones are from April, back when our Lady Banks roses were blooming and it was still decent weather. By the end of August (even with a trip to MI for relief!) it's a little hard to believe Phoenix is anything but HOT.




I can't remember why the kids were saluting in the picture below, but obviously something wasn't going Clara's way . . .

Lydia looking older in glasses (she's had them since last October):


The four wonderful kids who are getting too big too fast:



Twins with lots of hair:


Lydia wanted me to take pictures of her by the peach tree and the roses:
