Whew…it’s been a full summer and I’ve neglected getting any posting done here. I FINALLY got some pics edited to post and will try to give a little rundown of the summer.
I posted a while ago about Isaiah being in my cousin’s wedding. Here are a couple of picutres of that. The first is Isaiah with Chris and Heather and the second is with my youngest brother Aaron.
This spring Dad planted some new fruit trees with his little helper Isaiah
Then Mom, Dad and I tackled a bit flower bed that has never been completed. It involved moving out huge rocks, weeding, leveling, putting down the weed guard, adding mulch and moving the HUGE rocks back. Oh…and of course planting the plants. It wasn’t quite finished in this picture since we ran out of weed guard and mulch. We also added some more plants.
We also planted a few strawberry plants
On one of our trips to Indy we got together with some old playdate friends. When the moms met (3 of us) we had these kiddos:
And now between the 3 of us:
Then we went camping. The boys loved to go out on the pier and go fishing. They also got to go out and fish with Grandpa in his boat. Oh, and while at camp some of the older guys were doing haircuts so Daniel and Isaiah got their “camp haircuts”. (Joshua was sleeping).
The boys and I spent about 12 days in KY at the beginning of July. Here they are playing in the water to stay cool.
One day we went to Chaney’s Dairy Farm. We got to go on a little tractor ride down to the barn and meet Miss Glimmer (dairy cow) and each of the boys got a chance to milk her. They also meet Bambi who was a calf that was only a couple weeks old at the time. Then we went back to enjoy some ice cream cones.
Mimi bought the boys a Lego Sticker book. They enjoyed the stickers.
After returning from KY, one of my sisters-in-law, mom, and I had a shower for my other sister-in-law who is having twins (due in early Sept.) I made 2 diaper cakes and we made some cute little pea pod cupcakes (her nursery theme is Two Peas in a Pod).
We had been home about a week, when Dave’s grandma passed away so went returned to KY for a week to spend time with family.
Other news:
*Daniel lost his 3rd tooth yesterday and the silly tooth fairy only gave him one quarter this time instead of two….MAN, she is forgetful!!!
*Yesterday was also a big day because we made the decision to homeschool Daniel this year. We have been considering it for quite some time, but finally made the big decision yesterday. I am excited, but also a bit overwhelmed. Daniel is also pretty excited, but is also sad that he won’t get to see his friends at school. We got our books ordered and now will just wait until they arrive. In the meantime I will try to gather a few other supplies we may need. I also plan to get Isaiah some books to use to work on alphabet and numbers and such. Please keep us in your prayers as we embark on this journey.
Glad to see you back! Hope for you with getting a job, it’s tough we know! Kim
