M-girl’s first story
“A cat had a broom and a mop for he had to clean.”
Trick or Treat
My mom made the Dorothy costume for M-girl’s birthday, leading to my making the costumes for N-boy and R-girl.
County Fair
We went to the county fair this evening and had a great time seeing the animals and the work people put into their hobbies: animal husbandry, gardening, photography, woodworking, and sewing! I have a photo like this with our friends the Tullys from 4 years ago when M-girl was almost 1 … hard to believe…
Adventure the Second
We had no problems finding Char-Mar Ridge. What a great hike it is! About a mile and a half, through beautiful woods winding across and around a creek.

We made a wrong “non-turn” and turned around after talking to a park ranger at a different park (different park system, even!) and found our way into Sunbury,…

I hope this will teach our children (and…
Cold and Snowy week
We’ve had a busy week! School for the kiddos, evening things for me, Jason has had long hours. Fun fun stuff! This week we started to work into our routine. The children seem to be really liking having a certain order to the day, and they definitely like having time with me by themselves in…
School!
First day of “K4”: First day of “preschool”: 30 minutes of Mommy to myself?! Woo-hoo!
