Here you can read all about it. Sometimes it's traveling, sometimes it's homeschooling, occasionally we bitch. For some background, read our first post ever.
Monday, January 25, 2010 at 6:17AM Alan Perlman at the terrific blog The 9 To 5 Alternative had a case study series, and today he profiled our family on homeschooling while traveling.

We're in a family hotel room in Frankfurt, Germany. It's late, and we're all snuggled warm in our beds. The kids are delighted to be in bunk-beds at this hotel. The grown-ups are happy to have a bed
Friday, January 8, 2010 at 2:47AM This weekend we're flying to Germany. Thanks to Ryanair's £5 flights, that's about $64 for the four of us roundtrip. We couldn't eat in a pub for $64. All right, there's some fine print and actual size may vary bullshit that goes along with the flight, but it's still amazingly cheap.
We're going to watch our friend's daughter, Daisy, dance in a production of Onegin with the Stuttgart Ballet. All of us are excited, but when Ella heard the news that we were going, she danced around the flat, leaping and pirouetting. I overheard her on Skype telling a pal that she was going to watch her friend, who's a ballerina, dance -- (Ella's never met Daisy). I think it will be a magical evening for our little girl.
Most of Brenna's and my memories of Daisy are from when she was three years old. I can only try to imagine what it must feel like for Daisy's parents to watch her perform. My god, life moves at a blinding pace.

...And, regarding the correct pronunciation of Onegin, here's an excerpt from an online article by Brendan Blom of the National Arts Centre in Canada.
My brother, when he worked in a video rental store as a teenager, said that customers asking for the film version would often pronounce it "One Gin," as if they were ordering a drink. It should be pronounced "On-YAY-gin," with a hard "g."

Our friend Iris came to visit for Christmas and we couldn't be happier -- especially since she came with gifts from SoCal. We haven't had Herdez or Cholula for months! Tonight we'll be making Christmas Nachos with Scottish cheddar... Of course we took her to the Gluhwein hut at the Edinburgh Christmas Festival and then we hung the Wellie liners on the radiator with care. Here's a little montage of our Christmas with Iris. We hope you are having a wonderful day, full of Christmas Cheer!
