Walker Band Concert featuring Sammy on Drums

the Illuminati, thunder, and the Apocalypse

Today, me and some of my friends were talking about the Illuminati. We want to know a few things about it. Like, what does the Illuminati do exactly? What are their ideals? do they want to do something Thanos style? Do they want equality for all? or do they think one certain type of person is the best? cause I think that everyone is equal. except rapists. they are horrid and don't deserve to live.
about thunder, there is a thunderstorm. Its really loud. iris got scared. I love the chaos of it though.
I have been having visions and dreams of the apocalypse. I hope it doesn't happen soon though... well, it might be fun. but not really.
thank you, this has been Phin

Artsyphin

Phin/Josephine's self-portrait was featured here on this invitation card for the ArtQuest program exhibit in downtown Charlottesville!

She got accepted into the Governor's School Art Program this year, which is a 2-week camp in June.

We are so proud!

Pancakes & Gardens

This spring, we started a raised keyhole garden - the kids helped build it. We're starting composting, finally. And for Easter, we made sprinkly, chocolaty pancakes - because Easter needs MORE sugar, right?

Sam Cuteness

There's so much more to Sam than his love of sports, his dog, and his curly hair - but those parts are pretty darn cute.

13 and a Big Ole Half

I don't know how it's possible that I have a 13 1/2 year-old.
But I do.
She is!

2019 First Synchronized Swim Meet!

The ritual is called Getting Snotted. It refers to this process by which girls about to compete glue their hair down with gelatin, called Knox. It's super gross and a rite of passage!

Phin performed a duet. They won first place - even though they were the only ones competing, it was still fun to win!

Fancy Musicians

Sam and Phin both had to dress up for the band concert... Phin played clarinet, Sam percussion.
