Isabel’s very favorite place in the world is the Mini Time Machine Museum. She was so inspired, she created a little room of her own with pictures on the walls and a rug. We then went to a thrift store to see if we could find any fun miniature items to add to her shoe [...]

Today (in the afternoon when I knew we weren’t going anywhere) I let Sylvia pick out my outfit. Of course she picked my wedding dress, the hugest earrings I have and my birdie necklace. She chose the hairstyle and lipstick too. Sylvia was the photographer as well. Here is the bonny bride talking on her [...]

Tonight Luke and Isabel performed in a piano recital for the summer students. Since there aren’t as many students in the summer, it was more casual. They each played a couple of songs and then played a duet together. In the summertime, we still have our children do their math, piano lessons, history, or whatever [...]
