Science Experiment using Turgor Pressure



This is a picture of one of Katherine's three experiments this week. She is learning about turgor pressure that swells the cell walls and causes the liquid to move up the stem of the plant. By the end of the week this celery should be quite blue! Then, we plan to eat it. Ha.

13th Birthday Milestone

Sunday after church we gathered friends and took them to all-you-can-eat pizza and then to a 3D movie: Yogi Bear. There was one boy in the group, but he didn't seem to mind at all.

We are celebrating at Benihanna's with 10 million other people on Saturday night. We invited a good family friend, Lou Jullien to join us. We sat 9 to a table and shouted to be heard. But the food was good. It always is. Katherine got to wear the honorary chef hat and have her picture taken.

Baby Alanna Goes Hunting

You wouldn't know this baby was supposed to be sick until you see her with the breathing treatment appliance.  She really did not like having that thing over her face. I had to put it on mine to make sure it wasn't too hot, too cold, to strong, to weak...I sound like Goldilocks and the Three Bears!!

In the Hunting scene, Katherine and I wanted to include the pink 22 rifle that Grampa Ed gave to her, but we were too skittish to have it out. Silly gooses we are.
