This week

Have a whole new perspective on this week. Corrie was home sick most everyday except Tuesday when she gave her biography presentation (which she nailed, smile). 

I can see   now   how being miserably sick was such a sweet blessing for me. What a wonderful week :) full of taking temperatures, games of uno and war, reading together, coughing fits at 4 in the morning, doctor visits, sleep, exhaustion... I'm so glad she was home.

I cannot begin to imagine...

Children's

During fall break we met some friends in Indy for some fun and exploration at the Children's Museum. We had a great time and were thankful for the chance to go,

Are we having fun yet?!

Um, you forgot something, Corrie.

Mary builds herself a chair and... dino digging!

Boxes for Tiny things

Welcome to our family of collectors :)

Brian collects images, pictures. I collect and repurpose. The girls list of collections involve feathers, rocks, sticks, shells, rubber bands, etc.. I am amazed sometimes by what I find under their pillows. So one day we made little boxes for their little things...

We always have some cardboard lying around, the UPS man is always delivering something!

Mary Takes Pictures of Us

Try to guess what each of us is doing... a good slice of where you find us each day. :)

Best of Summer

One. Big. Recap. With fall weather beginning (..well, at least in the mornings...), here is a look back at our summer and family trips.

Not much rain. The girls giving the umbrella some love.

I was amazed how quickly they threw themselves back into playing with each other.

Lots of nature collections,

A cool breeze on a summer night.

We tried to play tag barefoot on this patch of dry grass. Ouch!

Those eyes...

Big for her britches!

Sisters thru the ups and downs,
