Castles

Since we had been studying castles in school, we thought we would try our best to visit one!!  Hazel had picked a book out on castles at the library and we've been studying it and she was completely amazed with them. So after some research, we located a castle playground and another castle nearby which was the former residence of Henry Mercer.  We had a lot of fun, and we snapped a few photos of our field trip adventure!!!!

The Castle Park.

We met a lovely British gentleman with a gorgeous Lab pup, he was so nice! He was quintessentially British, and was wearing a polo shirt with the words "Got Wine???" on it! He was cute!

The Mercer Castle.

We had such a great day, exploring castles! We hope you all have a great Friday, and an excellent weekend! Lot of love!!!!!!!!

Oh, and our Hymn study for the week is Amazing Grace! Each week we read a hymn, listen to it and discuss. It has been lots of fun! So, this week we listened to this little girl singing our weekly Hymn (we also listened to Elvis sing it too...it was ahhhmazing as well). This version was so moving...Hazel just loved it!!! So, listen and enjoy!

Love,

Field Trips.

We spent the afternoon having lunch at a nature preserve last week. We ate our lunch, read poetry and literature and explored. We learned about birds and such and had a wonderful time!!!

(these funny expressions are cracking me up)

Hazel was completely in her element.

Hazel takes posing with flowers very seriously.

Have a beautiful weekend!!!

Peaches

Awhile back (some time in mid August), we had a rare free afternoon and decided to go fruit picking! We picked peaches, a few early apples, and some berries.  The girls had so much fun, they always love these types of outings.  The peaches were very delicious! The peaches (Joe's fav) were used for a special birthday cake, and for yummy snacking!!!  

Hope everyone is well and having a wonderful Sunday!

 God Bless!

6 Months

At his recent 6 month checkup, Maxfield attacked the paper lining the table so much that the nurse had to replace it. Oh, and he tried to eat it too!!! He grabs my face so hard  sometimes, that it actually does hurt. Yes, I am learning the difference between boys and girls, yes indeed. Even though he is a tough lil' guy, he is sweet, playful, loving, and very easy going. He is a total flirt, and loves the ladies...all ladies! He sleeps and eats like a champ and is just an all around great little baby! He had a rough spot for a few weeks, when he had his two lower teeth coming in at once but has resumed his easy going nature! He loves to eat and is eating all sorts of yummy vegetables.  We are so blessed to have him! I think we'll keep him!!!!!!

Love,

Mon

Jack

Happy 1st Birthday Sweet Jackson!!!

The girls just loved having Jackson over this summer. He really is a very sweet, and kind little guy. These pictures where taken in early summer when Jackson, his mommy (my sissy), and daddy came to visit PA for a few days. It was a delightful visit complete with Starbucks time, family time, history time (thanks to Valley Forge), and we just loved it! We MISS them so much, and were sad to have missed his very first birthday due to the fact that we live on the other side of the country...bummer. So we are sending sweet Jackson tons of birthday love (be on the lookout for a bday package, if auntie gets her act together)!!! We love ya little guy!!!
