Coast Crew: Brynner's Essay
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/11/brynners-essay.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Every year the VFW sponsors an essay contest. Last year Brynne won. This year she is the only entrant (so we expect a win). BUT, she wrote a really good essay this year, so I'm going to share it! The subject that she was given is also the title. She's limited to 400 words. What I would tell America's Founding Fathers. If I met America's Founding Fathers there are many things I would tell them and many things they might wonder about today's world. Another thing I would tell them...

Coast Crew: Thanksgiving Weekend
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/11/thanksgiving-weekend.html
Saturday, November 24, 2012. We've been busy here! We had a nice Thanksgiving. Josh's parents were able to come out and join us for a couple nights so we got to spend all of Thanksgiving day together. We had the missionaries over for breakfast (pancakes, scrambled eggs, and sweet potatoes! And then to work off our feast, on Friday Josh and I got started reorganizing our house a bit. I know. I can't help myself. The movie reason is moot - our new DVD player will stream wirelessly. Back to math. :-). AND, ...

Coast Crew: Five is Fun!
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/five-is-fun.html
Friday, December 7, 2012. Dang, we love this kid! We had a super fun birthday today. Swimming at the aquatic center. A "star" birthday cake (per her request). Friends over to play. And presents, of course! I think she giggled non-stop through the entire day. It's so fun when birthdays are magic for kids. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to the Coast!

Coast Crew: The weather outside is Frightful!
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-weather-outside-is-frightful.html
Tuesday, December 25, 2012. The weather outside is Frightful! For one reason after another, we've been grateful that we opted not to travel this Christmas (although we still miss seeing our families - it's the actual travel. Anyway, between the cat's stitches and twice-daily antibiotic regimen, the wintry weather, and the miserable, germy kids, being in our cozy home has been the best possible option for us. Love to all our friends and family! May your Christmas day be Merry. Now on to 2013! The main pur...

Coast Crew: Swimming Season
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/swimming-season.html
Wednesday, December 5, 2012. So December got designated the season for swimming. I've been giving Logan one-on-one lessons at the pool every day since last Monday. He needs them. Group lessons weren't working for him, and I couldn't hack the expense of private lessons. So I thought we'd try having consistent lessons together for the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. We spend 20-30 minutes working together, then he gets free time while I swim a few laps and take a shower. Surprise, surprise, ...

Coast Crew: Animals are guaranteed to drive you crazy!
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/animals-are-guaranteed-to-drive-you.html
Sunday, December 30, 2012. Animals are guaranteed to drive you crazy! I swear she thinks her body is paralyzed. She slinks around - or even refuses to move her legs and just sort of rolls off the couch and around on the floor. She's a little better today; moving around a bit and eating more. Even begging to be let outside (which is currently off limits). I'll be glad when she's all healed up and we can get back to our regular lives. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/11/just-few-more-photos.html
Thursday, November 8, 2012. Just a few more photos. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Welcome to the Coast! The main purpose of this little spot on the web is to journal our family's life. I like the grandparents and other family to be able to see any pictures and videos that they might find interesting. I also like to keep a record of how the kids are growing and what they are learning in our home school. And sometimes I just post odd things that I think are interesting. Our Family's Recent Reads.

Coast Crew: Curlys
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/curlys.html
Friday, December 14, 2012. We had to try out our new curlers on the little girls last night. Natalie took hers out during the night, so she just has beachy waves. Kenna was more disciplined (in fact, I had to convince her not to leave them in all day). Also, Kenna got to spend her birthday money today. And Natty has been into trying on shoes that are too big.but she's so cute - she chose her outfit today! Does your piano stick out into the room? Cute hair on cute girls!

Coast Crew: 2012 - Annual Review
http://coastcrew.blogspot.com/2012/12/2012-annual-review.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. 2012 - Annual Review. What to say about 2012. It's been a year unlike any other for us. Busier, for the most part. It's been a good one. No major traumas or dramas. But the kids are growing older and time seems to be slipping faster and faster through our fingers. In a large-ish nutshell:. Turned 14 in May. She enjoyed her first youth conference in June - also her first dance! Violin. It's so fun to hear her play it. She wins some scholarship money, so it's a great thing! Brynn...
