We had a party to celebrate Sage’s birthday last weekend. She invited some of friends from school.
The kids painted pots and planted “kinderplants” for the local nursery.
An unusual amount of music was played during the party. An impromptu orchestra formed, rehearsing a spontaneous composition.
There was also some game playing.
And until the rain sent everyone back [...]
We had a great visit to Massachusetts squeezed in between Arizona and our return to the U.K. It was really nice to see so many of our friends and family. I only wish we could have stayed a little longer…
We arrived just in time for a New Year’s party at our house in Holyoke. The [...]
Well, it’s nearly the end of January and I’ve only just finished uploading my pictures from the end of December. I’m hoping to write several posts about our trip to Arizona in the next few days and catch up to more current events.

The kids were ready to go before we finished packing and spent some time on the swings waiting for us.
It isn’t particularly far to Hartington from Derby, but the [...]
I just saw that my old friend Chris has a new recording available. Check out some of the his music and perhaps order the cd at chrisjamison.com.
Here are the results from River’s latest survey:
River has been conducting some polls of friends and family recently and compiled the results today.
Chocolate, by the way, was a popular write-in candidate and thus added to the survey. She made the graphs at the National Center for Education Statistics’ Create-A-Graph website. If you’d like to be added to her email list [...]
We got a piano on Monday from some friends who wanted more space in their living room.
We’ve all enjoyed the recent musical endeavors. I heard recently that it is very likely that the kids will be able to begin music lessons at school after the holidays. I saw some of the House Music [...]
