summer métier

Life here at 6 La Canada is non-stop serendipity, 100% verve, completely diverting, and as flexible as we can be--hence the infrequent posting attempts. Here's a quick sketch of what is keeping the 8 of us hopping:
Daddy- work, of course, and an up-coming backpacking trip to plan
Mama- staying caught up with us, reading biographies, gardening flowers and veggies, and keeping our family running so smoothly
Curtis- working in the computers/security department of the bank
Me- swimming at O-dark-thirty, coaching for all of the morning, being a mother's helper 2 days a week, sewing, trying to finish projects in my "never-ending" stack, and spending time with my family and friends before I leave for school (just over a month away!)
Marissa- practicing with the swim team, reading Jane Austen novels, learning to cut hair, and babysitting 4 boys, 2 days a week.
the three buccaneers- playing educational games, reading, reviewing some school memory work, swimming, and jumping on the trampoline/playing basketball

ahoy me harties!

the Swashbucklers
Tuzoo, 1st Mate, and the Captian



Hawaiian Haystacks and Coconut Lime Cooler on the mess-deck

for all those concerned: we are managing to have fun and eat well while it's just the 6 of us at home
