DiscoverTheChild

Just wanted to let you all know about my new website, www.discoverthechild.com . For those of you that don’t know, we are planning on homeschooling our children. This new site is all about that adventure. It’s a brand new site, so I’ve only written 3 posts and there are still a couple of features in the works, but I just wanted to invite everyone over for a little blog-warming party.

The beginnings of my homeschooling library.

Food, Glorious Food!

We’ve been making some tasty food around here lately. One of Bryce’s Christmas presents from me was Table for Two: The Cookbook for Couples and we’ve been enjoying cooking from it. We made French Onion Soup last week and this week we made a Blueberry Pear Crisp–both delicious!

Behold, the Soup!

Isn't it beautiful? It was so so good. Yum.

Just wanted to capture a Haymond tradition in action--Daddy Breakfasts. We make breakfast for dinner quite often and Bryce is always in charge of the eggs. He makes them just like his dad did when Bryce was growing up--fried and covered in various spices and seasonings. Not sure what Amelie's doing in this picture. Trying to smile like Bryce?

Calder Around the House

Calder’s had a pretty busy month so far.

He's determined to figure out the jumping part of hopscotch.

The poor little guy got some kind of flu bug. Luckily, it only lasted one evening. You know if he's just lounging on the couch, something's wrong with this normally busy boy.

Making some music on the keyboard. He climbs up onto the not-to-stable seat all by himself and hasn't fallen yet!

Helping me sweep. Whenever I start sweeping, he gets our child-size broom and pitches in.

Fancy Amelie

One of Amelie’s favorite book characters is Fancy Nancy, expert on all things glamorous and gorgeous. Here are some of Amelie’s latest fancy happenings.

This is how she emerged from nap time the other day. The napping part of nap time is becoming less frequent, so we're trying for Quiet Time now. I think this is quite a fantastic ensemble, don't you?
