The Pumpkin Patch

Elizabeth's 1st visit to the Pumpkin Patch!


Josiah in full-cherub mode once again.



Isaac also in full-cherub mode.

Of course we couldn't get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.

Keith and Isaac did the corn maze together.

A desperate attempt to get a shot of all 3 kids.

With us this year were our dear friends from Michigan, Troy and Denise Bryant along with their four children: Caleb (9), Rachel (8), Sam (5), and Sarah (4). So, yes we had seven children in our house that weekend, but it was a blast!

Catch Up

I just want to say if you've never read one of Francine Rivers' books, you must! Even with three children, ages three and under, when I pick up one of her novels I cannot put it down. I finish her books within about three or four days. I just completed The Last Sin Eater-AWESOME! I am concurrently reading Mary Pride's Complete Guide to Getting Started in Homeschooling as well. However, Mary Pride's Complete Guide is over 600 pages long and, while I am interested in learning more about homeschooling, it's not exactly the type of nonfiction you can't put down.

Tonight I painted our foyer. It's so exhilarating to work on our house again, even if it's just a tiny entryway. I fear this fire will not be quenched until we paint every room in our house that hasn't been painted already.

Back to painting....
