D.E.A.R

Today was National D.E.A.R Day (Drop Everything And Read). I am excited about this one. We are reading a slew of Beverly Cleary books, as today was also Mrs. Cleary's 92nd birthday. Included for us this month: Beezus and Ramona, The Mouse and the Motorcycle, A Girl from Yamhill, and our only non Cleary book, we will finish Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Maybe we should pick up something to help inspire us to be a bit more vigilant as Earth Day is next week.
P.S. On that note, the kids are making bank with their latest recycling project. They are collectively responsible to ensure that all recyclables are taken to the garage, and I take them to the recycling center to cash it all in. It's working out beautifully for us all. LOL.

Our Big Move

So a few months ago, we moved to California, as many of you already know. I know that many were not even aware that we were moving until a truck showed up in the driveway back in Utah.
However, we are finally beginning to feel like we're settling in. Allie has begun taking dance classes (Jazz to be exact) and she loves it already. :D Kamran and Jaan are busy with Karate three days a week and Jaan also is in a soccer camp on Tuesdays-crazy. LOL.
I have been very grateful that we don't have the chaos of transferring schools, as we have merely had to conform to one state law regarding education at home. Which was to become a private school.
Love to all. Talk soon...
