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.
Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 10:15PM The "Perth Christmas Tree Lights Switch On," was technically before the official Redpath Holiday Season Kickoff begins, and therefore not acceptable to attend, but we went anyway. Brenna is nothing if not freewheeling!
The day was a little cold, the evening a little rainy, and the whole event a lot of fun. There was entertainment up and down High Street, including Sideshow Stevie and
Tuesday, December 1, 2009 at 4:23AM We had such a blast at the Crannog Center for Samhain (Halloween) that we vowed to go back so we could actually see the crannog in the daylight. What's a crannog?
Crannogs are a type of ancient loch-dwelling found throughout Scotland and Ireland. Most are circular structures that seem to have been built as individual homes to accommodate extended families. Other types of loch settlements are also found in Scandinavian countries and throughout Europe.

We made it to the Center on the last day they were open until next spring. They were celebrating the day with a Wild Harvest Food Festival, featuring only period Celtic foods.

These months on the road have been many things: taxing, joyous, maddening, frightening, enlightening, eye-opening. Sometimes we think we're brave and intrepid, and sometimes we're convinced that we're complete idiots. Living in this uncertainty has made us so very aware of our blessings. I know it sounds corny. It doesn't feel corny.
Our plan for a Thanksgiving blog was for each family member to list the things we're thankful for, and we realized that it was almost absurd. There's nothing that we're NOT thankful for right now.

Today is a tardy post about a friend we met in Nuremburg, Germany. His name is Joachim Torbahn. When we talked with Joachim about his work, he said, "I'm a
