New Pictures

Here are some photos from our adventures from August! (click here)

Empty House

It is a strange feeling to have my children off somewhere without me. We have entered into another school year and now David and Rebecca are gone. Here David is going to school, and the next one is Rebecca taking her turn going to school. We just love taking pictures by that funny sign...

Before school started we spent some time together.

The children loved getting to go to the circus, it really was amazing!

Family Home Evening Jam

We have had fun creating things these past couple of family home evenings. Last week we decided to show our children how to make butter, and they were amazed! Yesterday we tried our hand at freezer jam, and the children are waiting anxiously for their first taste of jam that they helped to make!

I love seeing the excitement in the eyes of my children when we create something on our own. They love making our own flour from wheat we have stored as well. Perhaps someday we can have a garden and teach more of these preserving skills to our children.

July Fun

We updated our family photos page if you would like to see some of the fun we had during July!

A Great Two Years

Happy Birthday!

One of the cutest boys in the world! He fills our life with laughs, smile, hugs, and light.

We love Benjamin.

A Trim

As I was getting ready the other morning I couldn't stand my hair any longer. I had debated about getting it cut, but really don't like going to hair salons. I grabbed the scissors and trimmed a few inches off my hair.
The things I love about short hair:
It feels so light and airy.
My hair is a bit curly and curls a lot more when it is short.

Well, that is only two reasons, but they are the ones that stand out to me.

I love short hair!

And the Result Is....

It looks like we will be inviting another cute boy into our family. Although never feel quite certain until I see his little face and hold him in my arms.
