The family picked me up from work today and as I walked out the door, I thought of something that I had forgot and walked back in. The kids asked Enid why I went back inside. "He must have forgot something," she explained.Ewan replied: "Laptop."I didn't know he could say that or that he was perceptive enough to notice that I had taken my work laptop with me everywhere we went all weekend.

Enid begins homeschooling Ora 5 and Aspen today.Update: Enid reported that they had a good day of school. The kids were excited and very engaged. Aspen didn't show signs of having lost any of her reading skills over the summer. (We read to them so often that we sometimes forget that they should be reading to us!)We also began new reading books this evening. Enid read chapter 1 of the first Box Car Children book to Aspen and I read an ...

My wife saw a picture of it and ordered it via phone, but never asked how much it was. When I went to pick it up and they asked me is it the "$44.99 signature cake?" In my mind I thought I hope not. But it was. LOL. Happy Birthday Ewan.

Once a week they go to classes at a local mega-church where they can interact with kids their own age and get some of their extra-curricular classes (spanish, PE, art, etc). Plus it gives Enid a day off.This is Aspen's first year and she will have the same kindergarten teacher that Ora 5 had. She is very excited. She picked out a Tinkerbell backpack to carry her stuff.I have the day off work today, so it ...

Just 4 days ago, Enid said that she would be really excited if her photos every got "explored" on Flickr. Since then, 5 of her photos have been explored.I'm not sure if the photos are hand selected by editors at Flickr or if there is an algorithm that is taking into account the number of people who have viewed, commented and made the photo a favorite etc., but Explore is a collection of the 500 most "interesting" photos on ...
