And they're off!

Well we are no longer parents of a preschooler. C joined her brother at "big kid" school this week. Mom delt with it very well because C was so happy to go. But I will miss her company. But not the tornado of messes she would leave around the house. ;)
N is now considered in Intermediate school. (aka the upper grades) so he is big man on campus. He has grow to 5'3". He's taller than me on his tiptoes. He loves that. Me not so much!


Coming home from school on her first bus ride.
Loved it!!!

Nick has decided to play the trumpet this year at school.

This was the day he got his new trumpet.

Deer Park petting zoo

White we were visiting B's family, we got to take the kids to a wild animal park. They had bears, elk, tigers, cougers, etc. But by far their favorite thing to see and hold were the baby ducklings.

Blueberry Picking

This past June we went to our local blueberry farm and picked our berries. I have a big blueberry addiction, so I eat more than I pick. Luckily N and C are good pickers and we had enough for cobbler, muffins and pancakes!

August in PA

We just got back from PA for a visit with family and friends.

We were so glad to get to spend time with Britt and Kyle.

They are an amazing couple inspite of their circumstances.

We can't believe how great Kyle is doing. I know that he will only improve. We pray for healing and strength for him each and everyday, and God is obviously answering those prayers.

In this picture we were at the movies to see Wall-e. Lots of fun!
