NEW Header

Notice my new header? It's going to be my websites page until I get the whole site up and running, which will take a long while, but that's ok. Having some problems with my camera right now. But as soon as I get it looked at I'll get some more pictures up.
School is going really well. I'm so glad we are homeschooling right now. The kids are doing really well, and so eager to learn. We are having lots of fun. Too busy to post much though, but I still try.
Well now you know what I've been up to.

A. Says...

Well, I have to give a little background before scripting this conversation. A. had been a bit on the snarkey side and had to be discipled by her daddy. Meanwhile I am in Chapters purchasing a book with David's bankcard. I return to the van skipping along with Chapters bag in hand. We decide we will grab a bubble tea since we are in Poco.... When we arrive, I can't remember where I put David's bank card, and I am looking everywhere to now avail....

David to me: You lost my bank card
A little voice from the back seat: You lost my love!

David and I looked at each other and could only laugh. Thankfully A. later informed David she had three more loves for him, if he ever happened to loose it again.

BTW: the bank card was found - in his wallet :)

Impromtu Trip to the Beach

We have been so busy lately. We decided, at the last minute, our family need a break. So we took of to the ocean. With the fresh ocean breeze cooling us off, and the warm waves curling around our feet, we hung out and played.

Yes, my eyes look closed, but really they are open. It was so bright.

I think this is my favorite photo from the day.

E's Bday

Well, here are some pics from E's birthday on Tuesday. We have been to sick to plan a party, so we just had a little one with just us.

A grumpy Ethan, not wanting to hear the birthday song.

Well, he got over it soon enough.

And, he was happy to find the snare after running around opening empty boxes and reading clues to where his real gift was. We of coarse went to the drum room to try it out immediately.

Enjoying the party.

And the cake we will be having tonight. Ethan loves ducks, and had asked to have a lemon cake with lemon pie inside, and lemon icing, with a duck on top. Well, sadly on his birthday we were out of eggs, and had a little "mix up" with the keys. So we bought his birthday cake after David came home from work *with the keys* and promised to have the REAL cake another day this week.

We bought E a little snare drum for his birthday, so this a little footage of him trying it out. we just recorded this with the built in camera on the mac, in the low lit drum room.

First Day of September

Just a photo from this morning the first day of September. The light was just coming in to the kitchen window, and I couldn't miss the opportunity to take some pictures.
