Lovin School Days

Back in School! WOOHOO! But my have they grown ...





I am still convinced that preschool is the greatest invention ever! Mac and Max are going three mornings a week and absolutely love it. They are in two different classes - learning to be a bit more independent from each other. This McKaden's third year of pre-school so I call her the "student teacher" - that is what you get for having a November birthday! Last year when Max started preschool he could hardly speak the language - wow how time changes things. I am so proud of these two crazies ... going out to be salt and light- in the world of preschool. God is good!

Off to the races

First you line up the snails.

You make sure that they are all going the same direction.

You wait to see who is going to pull ahead.

And here is the winner!!
Just a typical day around here - the kids and their pets.

Sports Camp

Forgive me while I try to make up for lost time - this summer went by SO fast! Anyhow, the kids went to their first sports camp this summer. Mark and I both went to watch and had a pretty good laugh. Just imagine a field of 4 year olds trying to perfect their talents in the sports of soccer, baseball and basketball- chaos! I will let pictures tell the story ...

By the Sea

What a great trip we had with our friends! We loaded up our cars and our 9 kids- UNDER the age of 5!- and off we went to the beach. We are so blessed to have this kind of community for our kids to grow up in. I can tell you that this beach house was filled with much laughter.
