Church Drama Production includes all 3Gs


"New Testament Rewind" is a wonderful way to learn about the Bible.
G1 ran lights and G2 had various parts throughout the play as well.

Mango Language Practice


With Gramma! French and German are much more fun this way!

BTW, our adventure with Explode the Code is finished. Everyone completed the final section and we're on to bigger and better uses of our hard won phonics knowledge.

New Views

As my soccer kids (G#1 & G#2) work diligently 3x a week on the pitch, I watch my third ride his bike or hit a bucket of balls with Dad at the courts. But there is a new view from the tennis court sideline (as tennis lessons began for G#3):





New views from the back door to the house (as each of the junior gardeners used a shovel to help me remove a 30 year old juniper stump from in front of a basement window):


It's amazing what directed digging can bring about for dedicated diggers.
I may be viewing the sanctuary different in the future as I serve at church.
PS. Sunday sailing for Daddy and G#3 found them viewing the sail boat from the water. The gusting storm blew in and blew them over. Both are well, but learned many lessons and had new stories to tell.

Back into the swing of things

G#1 & G#2 enjoyed a weekend on the Iowa farm and G#3 relished skiing and building in Utah. All the while, The Daddy and I enjoyed an easy trip to Boston, both of us for the first visit ever. Boats and the Freedom Trail made for an excellent walk and adventure. We can't wait to bring the children here post-USA history 1865>.

But for now, we're all back together and school continues for a bit longer.

Tuesday with Mighty Acorns


Sumac discovery, then lopping off buckthorn and honeysuckle aliens for G#1. All the while, the two other Gs slopped along with me on the forest path. We didn't get to meet the industrious beaver though.

Fun Reading leads to Fun Gardening

I was looking for books by J. Arnosky and found this about worms by C. Arnold. It was the perfect read for my two younger kids! I'm ready to garden tomorrow after a visit to the home store for supplies!

The map of state birds showed many insights into bird migration and an introduction to the Zoo I book on flying things. The handwriting example is from our G#2 who, added a nice coloring job to finish if off.

Indian Princess Campout & Sledding somewhere in Northern Illinois

"The hill was really high, but this picture doesn't show you how high Mom," said the little Purple Feather. "We got to sleep on the top bunk above all the dads and we had so much fun!" BTW, the Daddy learned that the bright light below the moon for a couple of weeks now is Venus.
