Wow...time is somehow flying by right now and I can't seem to keep up with the blog these days. Right now the kids and I are sitting in a hotel at LAX waiting to catch a plane tomorrow. YUP...we're going on a holiday! I'm laughing as I type because it seems crazy to say we are taking a holiday when we are travelling the way we do right now. But the truth is, although we move around from place to place, we are still living a regular life when we park it. We still have to clean the house, go grocery shopping, the kids still do the regular activities they always have...it's still real life stuff. So we are going on a real holiday. Tomorrow morning we will get up at a ridiculous time (3am?) and hop on a plane to meet Bill in the Grand Cayman Islands. We are all excited to just hang out and relax...no cooking and cleaning for any of us! That's a real holiday! We're also excited because Gramma and Grampa are coming out to see us all well. We haven't seen them for a long while so it's big anticipation here. We'll also be celebrating Katie's third birthday while we are there! She's getting so tall our little monkey! On Halloween the older kids were telling jokes (found on candy wrappers) so Katie makes one up all by herself...
"Why couldn't the ghost eat dinner?"
"Because he didn't have a fork!"
Ah...to be three!
The kids have been really busy since Halloween. We have joined a group in Long Beach that does historical reenactments...so the kids are learning swording right now. If you know Maddy and Ali, then you know how appropriate this really is. Even Katie is allowed to participate. We've also started regularly attending the DragonTree Homeschool Park Day...they are the largest consistent gathering of unschooling families we've ever seen...at least 20 families are there very week. For the past few weeks there has been a dance instructor giving the kids hip hop lessons at the park. It's been fun and entertaining. Ten days into November and we are at 29 books for our 100 book challenge...yikes...I think I am going to have to pick up the pace a bit on this one... I have also been getting out and meeting new people...I've joined the local knitting group and meet with them every week for chatting and knitting. It's nice to find people who share an obsession! So I guess you can see why the blog is a little neglected these days! It's okay...I love being busy as along as we throw a few quiet, still moments in there for us all to breath!

Hi Lisa and family,
many great adventures for your family. Happy Birthday to Katie.
Have a wonderful vacation with your family.
My son Trevor would love to travel with you. For a few years now he has asked us to sell out home and buy a home on wheels so we could stay anywhere we want to.
You have wonderful pictures.
Thinking of you.
Kathy Clements
