January Highlights in a Nutshell


Amanda received the Principal's Honor Award for earning a 4.0 GPA for her first semester of high school. We are so proud of her. She worked very hard and learned many valuable lessons in time management. Keep up the great work, Amanda!


Stephie and Daniel are also finding great successes with school. It is hard to believe that the year is already half over. We are learning so much together. In history, we are studying Ancient History. As part of our unit on the Phoenician people, we made Phoenician pita bread. It was yummy with melted butter in cinnamon and sugar.


All-Star Scout, Daniel, received a rank advancement and 7 merit badges at the Scout Court of Honor. He has worked very hard during the past 10 months in Boy Scouts. He is a very decorated scout with hopes of getting his Eagle Scout award by age 13.


Where does this child live anyway? Stephanie has decided to stay "extra warm" by wearing her winter scarf, hat, and mittens to bed. Give me a break~this is California, not Chicago.

Time Warp

While archiving pictures today, I came across our engagement photo. Wow! What a time warp! Who knew that we would go from that...to this? Life is good!



My Little Sprite



My little sprite is not so little any more. It is hard to believe that she is 14 already and so beautiful! Where did the time go?
