First Snow in the Fall

 Today we had our first snow of the season. Our backyard had a light dusting. Everything looked so pretty!

Prairie Picnic - Homeschool

 Last Tuesday we got together with a few families from our church that are also homeschooling and had a prairie style picnic. We dressed up and cooked food from the “olden days”. The girls loved every minute of it. Besides great food, there were activities and games for all the kids. They got to make butter, dolls from corn husks, tin punching, tic-tac-toe, sac races, weaving and of course playing school. 

Building a chicken coop & run

 Cameron and the girls are converting part of our existing shed into a chicken coop.  The coop will have access to a run that is fully enclosed to keep them safe from predators. The girls love helping their dad with this type of project. 

Ana’s First Gymnastics Meet

 Last Saturday was Ana’s first gymnastics meet at our local YMCA. Ana has been doing gymnastics since she was three and she lives it. She was very excited for her first meet and it was a great experience. 

Halloween 2021

 The girls did a great job with this year’s costume. Emma was Cousin Itt  and Ana was Wednesday. 

Titus

 I can’t believe Titus is three and a half years old. He’s such a fun and smart little boy and we love having him around. It is great that our new house is only 12 minutes away from our dear friends the Edmonds. Titus came over to do “school” while his parents were working. 

Caterpillar

 Today we had our first meeting at our church for all those families that are homeschooling. Miss Amy, a retired school teacher, is leading our group and she is wonderful. There’s a huge range of school age children and I’m sure it will be a great blessing for all of us.

Miss Amy asked if the girls wanted a caterpillar to feed and watch grow. The girls are excited to care for this Marcy and watch the transformation to a monarch butterfly.
