This afternoon was open house in Mallory’s Gateway to Technology class at school, so the girls and I met Lindee there to go to that.  It was so cool to see all the things they have going on in that class, and the things they have coming up.  It was the first time I’d been […]

Wednesday when June and Mason got here after school they helped me bake a pound cake – I needed to make three for the turkey supper at church this weekend and to share with Gran.  They are good chefs 🙂 At BIG that evening, during the Bible lesson. Another good evening.

Tuesdays are usually sort of hectic, between getting the girls picked up, homework done, and Mallory fed & ready to head to dance.  This week, though, we did squeeze in a little bit of time for Mal to help Kimbrell do a little coloring on Mal’s tablet 🙂

Yesterday Charlotte and I went to Old Salem – a surprise for her to celebrate her 65th birthday.  It’s always great being together, and I had not been to Old Salem since I went with Lindee’s class when she was in the 4th grade, I don’t think.  It’s a beautifully restored area, of course – […]

I finally got at least a semblance of a picture of Charlie during his BMX race last night – it’s just blurry because he was going so fast 🙂

Good day today.  Mal & Clara came out here after I picked them up at school, and after they finished their homework we made sweaters for their stuffed animals out of socks :-).  They enjoyed making them as much as June and Mason had when I did the same activity with them a few weeks […]

This afternoon June and Mason helped me make English pea dumplings for supper tomorrow night – it’s going to be such a busy evening that, even though we were eating supper at church tonight, I wanted to go ahead & get a start on tomorrow evening.  Here they are adding the dumplings to the pot […]

Yesterday the children participated in the service at church, and they did such a good job.  Here they are practicing the anthem beforehand.  From front are Will, Judah, Raina, Mason, AJ, Kylie, Rylan, Rachel, Carter, June, Eva Kimrey, Anna, Elizabeth you can barely see, and Brandon.  So cute.

What a fun afternoon we had today, when Addie & Lee had Mason’s party out here at our house.  This has been his party for the last several years – kids come here for hotdogs and to run in the woods – what more could you want?  Here he is with his birthday cake. Group […]
