wow. where do i begin...

...the Ziff gang have had an amazing summer spending lots of time with friends and family.

Since September Giselle and I have been homeschooling. we love the flexibility and I love being with the girls. I am now a teacher and I am honored.
we took a couple weeks to travel down to California, and Southern Oregon - taking our classroom with us.

Neomie walk (runs) and says a few words now. she is a dear love. Giselle loves playing the piano, is an avid bread maker and the best big sister.

the time we spend together is bringing us closer as a family everyday.
Here is a short photo essay of the past few months...

Welcome back to the Blogosphere, Mama! I am watching you and loving you and missing you!

We are also enjoying homeschooling this year.

Neomi IS a little girl now, and I am sure quickly becoming a playmate to big sister in a whole new way.

Cheers!
