Thankful!

Every year we reflect on what we are thankful for.  Today is Josiah's turn to post to the blog.  So, here is what he has to say:

I am thankful for my shoes, because they keep my feet warm, and my clothes that keep my body warm.  My backpack so I can carry heavy stuff.  I'm thankful for my friends. God, because he is right next to me.  My house because it is a place for us to live.  My family because they keep me company.  The Earth because that's where we live.  Aunts, cousins, grandparents, uncles, cameras, so we can take pictures of our family.  Animals, school, the Bible, whistles, tracks, food, light, and sound.

Caramel Apples

Caramel apple time!  We have a lot of fun each year making caramel apples.  One thing I love about the Pacific Northwest is the apples and strawberries!  This was Faith's first time really being able to make one.

Yum!!!

Snuggle Buddies!

These girls are best buddies!  At least for now!

Having Fun!

This is typical Mikayla.  Playing and smiling!  She is one happy little girl.

My New Cup

I'm an really enjoying my new cup.  A friend got it for me as a thank you gift.  It's my new favorite!!!

Where's the Baby?

 

Mikayla loves to crawl EVERYWHERE!!!  It is a full-time job to keep up with her!

Cleaning the Pantry

The other day, I realized my pantry was being overtaken by robot body parts.  I was running out of room for my large appliances, so I pulled out the robot pieces, and recycled them, and now I have a well organized pantry, but no robot body parts for the next birthday party.  Oh well!

Mom's New Ride

To make a very long story, short, I got a new van!  It is in great condition and drives really nice.  Parking is easier, too.

True Sisters!

For two Sundays in a row, Faith has wanted to wear her purple dress and match with Mikayla.  She is so sweet to her little sister.  They are growing closer every day!

Timothy's Explosive Science Experiment

Timothy had a science experiment in his science book he was really looking forward to.   He apparently hadn't heard what happens when Diet Coke and Mentos meet.

The kids thought it was really cool and Timothy learned a little bit about science!!!
