The Past Few Days

I haven't posted in a couple of weeks, but it hasn't been boring around here. Would you like to see some of what we've been up to?

We went with some friends downtown to the arts market. It's so relaxing to be down there.

Unless you are a tall guy with a unique name...

Our friend, Tripp, was chosen from the audience to help strap this guy up. Poor Tripp.

Baby L. went with us, too. She makes the best faces.

I love these 3 kids.

I had to take a picture of Isaac with his homework for two reasons:

1. I'm proud of his handwriting.

2. I can't believe he didn't ask me how to spell a single one of these words. When did he learn how to spell "clothes"?

S'more out on our driveway...

I think that our neighbor friend doesn't know exactly how to act. He's trying not to overdo it like the goofballs next to him, but he doesn't want to be left on the sidelines either.

I think she filled her quota.

I went to a sorta-kinda cooking class with some ladies from my church.

Super Gayle and Terrific Jay

Josiah was the first of our kids to be brave and hop into the inner tube. He loved it!

So did Isaac.

Isaac also noticed that his friend, MB, jumped into the water and swam back to the boat. He was so excited and went for it as well. I'm not so sure he thought it was all it was cracked up to be. But he was very proud of himself later.

Even Olivia took a turn.

After boating, we headed out to a Fall party with a group of friends. And those friends + us = lots of kids. I say, "The more the merrier!"

Treasure Hunt

pondering the next clue

The treasure? Loads of candy!

The night ended with a great time roasting S'mores around the fire.

We are so thankful to be blessed with great friends.
