More to Come Next Week...

...but here's our winning shot from last week's apple picking time with friends.
"Oh, for a dozen!"

Which Ones?

Which ones should we show at her wedding?

(Finally a proof that she has two bottom teeth...)

And here's a special picture. Notice the proud, sweet smile on Judah's face? Judah is so proud and excited about his preschool work. He meets Duane at the door with his binder behind his back, "I bet you can't guess what I have to show you!" Then he basks in the attention Duane pays him as they go through his preschool binder on the couch. We don't do much 'paper work' in our preschool program, but Judah always wants something from that day to show Daddy. And he's also loving his Sunday School class each week (after he cried his way out of his first attendance). He even told Selah the other day that, "I can read now." Well, I guess that depends on what one calls reading:-). Sure, he can read his name now- doesn't that count?!

Celebrating Duane's Birthday

So it's been a few weeks ago... it still is not too late to add some cute photos from a family gathering for Duane's birthday...

...two 'sweeter-than-sugar' little girls, playing by Grandma...

...sharing a toy & a giggle...

...and along cam Mr. Adorable and sat down beside them and now there are three...

Some little cutie loves our new kitten...

Capturing Alexander's first crawl!!

Lots of help blowing out the candles on the ice cream cake...

Hello, Adorable!

Isaiah, the relentless wrestler, found another wrestling buddy in Jacob...

Cradling her baby...(for all our friends allergic to cats, please be assured that the inside cat pictures show special occasions with Oliver in someone's arms. The majority of the time Oliver is outside!:-))

And the traditional fuse ball game that inflates my husband's ego a bit too much when he wins against both his big brothers...

Isaiah & Oliver

This cute little thing has quickly scampered his way into the lives and hearts of our family...

...especially Isaiah's life. Oliver is Selah's kitten, and she dutifully cleans the litter and cradles the kitten in her arms, but Isaiah is Oliver's wrestling buddy!

"Oliver walking!"

"I kiss Oliver!"

This is how he 'cradles' the cat so Oliver doesn't bite his fingers...

Never a dull moment here with Isaiah and Oliver. (Hannah has gotten a bit more peace since Oliver is around to torture!)

Touching History

A living/working historical farm, 1 Grandma, 6 Moms, 15 kids...

(I read the rules after we left: no climbing on the fences -oops!)

Judah and a Jersey Cow...

This lady was the greatest- she could keep all those little ones entertained and quiet, never running out of patience, and full of interesting tidbits! Here she is telling the story of making butter...
