Science Day at the park

Kassidy is walking...

Just thought I'd share! Isn't she just too cute?

Apparently she is already trying to fly too!

Back to school

After my last post, somebody was joking with me about what "Back to School" pictures look like for a homeschooler. Typically, that would be us doing school in our pj's or our 'stay-home' clothes. You know what I mean...when your kids pick out their own clothes and they don't quite match or are too small or too big... Don't you just love 'stay-home' clothes?

So anyway, here they are.... back to school pictures...

This is Abbey in her school desk. Didn't she dress up so nice this day! She is such a big kindergartner! Abbey is LOVING school and loves to learn to read and loves this desk. Unfortunately, Abbey often has to give up her desk to her baby sister so she can get any work done. Kassidy like to try to sit with Abbey and take her pencils and crayons during school time. Thank goodness for nap time!

Here is just one of the reasons why I love homeschooling.... The kids can play in the rain, yes in their PJ's, during normal school hours! Monday was such a rainy PJ day. Somehow PE on Monday became puddle jumping in pj's. You can see they had a great time. And if you were wondering, yes we did cover other subjects on that day too. ;)

My big second grader!

And here is just a fun pic. We love to ride our bikes and go for walks!

Time for me to go to bed...

Beach Trip 2008

In June we enjoyed a great vacation with Chase's family to Sandestin, FL. I am just now getting around to posting some pictures.

Summer Highlights!

I am long overdue at making a blog post! We have had a very full and fun summer. So I thought I'd share a few pictures. Enjoy!

Mimi and the girls.

Mimi gave us the Zinnias. The girls are doing great at watering them and keeping them alive.

Thank God for waterproof casts! John Caedmon spent 3 weeks of his summer in a cast. We were delighted he did not have to have it on for longer. But he is supposed to be careful with his arm for a month now. How is a 4 year old boy to do such a thing?? Just a few more weeks and then he can wrestle again!

Chloe helped teach Abbey how to ride her bike. What sweet sisters!

Abbey did great learning. She learned to ride in just one afternoon. We were all amazed!

Chloe loves to dress up fancy!

Laurie, Dawn and Dawn's sister from England on our front porch. Rebecca loved the baby swing. We love it too.

It is so neat that it was ready and waiting for us when we moved in to the parsonage. That was one of the first things I noticed about the house when we were interviewing at Agape. I wondered at the time if it was a sign from the Lord. Maybe so...

We enjoyed having the Knowles and Platts over. We had a huge slip and slide that the youth had used. The kids loved it.

Slip and slide fun!

Kassidy's First Birthday!

She is wondering why I am letting her get messy and is sticking out her hand to show me how messy it is!

Cousins!

What a cutie!

Kassidy is slowly learning to walk. She took 10 steps on this day!

Kassidy was dedicated to the Lord at our church, Agape. This is us with my parents on baby dedication day.

Princess Chloe and Princess Abbey had a great time at their cousin Sydney's birthday party.

Our sweet little boy broke his elbow. He flipped off a chair in our living room and landed wrong - he hyper extended his elbow. He spent two days at the doctor getting it checked out and getting a cast.

I hesitated posting this picture, but it is just too cute. And it is very telling of all the work and craziness we went through this day!! Chloe was quite a trooper through all this ordeal. She thought it was funny to have mayo put in her hair. We were unfortunately exposed to head lice. Our first attempt at using Mayo did not work. Later that same day we used lice shampoo. Whew! What a day that was. Lots of combing and cleaning everything and washing.

Isn't Kassidy so cute in her swim suit? We always enjoy swimming at the Fargs!
