News in the new year

There's some catching up to do because I haven't posted much lately. We went to MN for Christmas and spent lots of time with friends when we got home. All good, but no time for blogging.
(Rosie was snuck into the hotel on the road to MN.)










The kids started Leaves of Learning on Friday. It was really good. Eleanor was happy to go to a school and be grown-up. Calvin was very nervous, but the school is great and they helped him along. He told Matt, "They were very welcoming!"

Here are some pics of some of the other things we've been up to. We had some fun taking pictures of Eleanor standing next to herself in a picture standing next to herself in a picture.


We saw the Frida Kahlo exhibit at theWalker in MN. We had learned about her life and art in our homeschool and the exhibit was really great. The exhibit including 50 paintings, so we saw many of the famous ones. Thanks to Kim, Eleanor even had a Frida doll, which everyone admired while we waited in line.


Calvin started basketball today. He had been asking to play for a while. And he was really into the game. It was fun to watch. In the pictures, he's the one with the white headband on the left.
