September 6th-13th 2010

Nora Lee, myself and our friends and neighbors, Laura, Vienna and Dorian went to an event held by the Pasadena Symphony. It was an opportunity for kids to participate in a sing-a-long, explore classical instruments and even play them. The kids got to get up near the stage and march to the music and dance. Nora Lee and Vienna held hands almost the entire hour and a half!

We have been visiting some friends (who are also a homeschooling family) pretty regularly. They have a beautiful home in Topanga Canyon with lots of trees and places to run! This is a time for the seven children from ages 3-11 to play together, create and perform plays, sculpt clay, draw, and do much more. This also gives us moms an opportunity to talk about our lives as homeschooling moms, wives, and women. Today we made plans for next week which will involve a "Welcoming Autumn" Lantern Walk. We plan to make lanterns and walk along the beach the following week. We also made plans for Dio De Los Muertos festivities at the beginning of November. More to come on all of that when it happens!

I'm very excited about fall! The temperature changes are so mild here but they are very welcome!

Here are some photos from today.
