Catching up....

It's been awhile since I've downloaded the photos from my phone and I finally got it done this week.  Thought I'd just post some random pictures of what's been going on around here to catch you all up :)

 We pick up a couple of friends from their school each Wednesday.  Last week, while waiting for them, Hannah happened to find my Bible in the door pocket of the truck.  It's the one I used at school all thru Jr and High School.  She loved sitting there "reading" it and flipping thru the pages, looking at all my underlinings and notes.

 We've been enjoying the fall weather and trying to take a break from our school work to take Max for a walk each day.  Hannah is her mother's child and seems to always find a tree to scramble up.

 Tess is doing GREAT living on her own.  She loves having her own apartment and doing things her way.  She has surprised me by being much neater than she ever was living at home.  Lord help you if she sees you aren't using a coaster on her coffee table ;)  She was a bit lonely however, so decided she wanted a little company.  That is Smokey, a little stray she picked up.  He is a dream kitten and LOVES lots of attention.

 There are times we like to get away from touch screens, computer screens, or even paper.... it's at those times the girls like to pull out their slates and chalk to work on spelling and math.  One of the great things of homeschooling is that you aren't stuck in a box and only able to do things one way :)

 All the girls got their autumn hair cuts at the end of September.  Hannah cut off the most, with enough to send in her braid to Locks of Love.  She loves her short hair and it's so much easier for her to manage.  The sandman LOVED her long locks and seemed to spend extra time playing in it every night, so each morning it was an ordeal doing her hair.  I have to admit our mornings are much easier.

 This is Hannah's Trevor.... They swear they are getting married.  He calls her "Honey" and she giggles.  They are like two peas in a pod :)

 It's not often Gracie has a great diabetes day, but once in a blue moon it does happen when her numbers are in range most of the day.  We had a day like that recently so we needed to celebrate with a chocolate chip frappe :)

 Paying bills is never fun.... unless it's the first time you have to do it:)

 Little Ms. Ginger Snap is growing quickly.  She is pure joy for all of us.

 I was blessed to go to Women of Faith in Kansas City at the end of September and Craig took the girls home to the farm.  They love spending time with the horses in a friend's pasture and would camp out there with them 24/7 if they could.  

Hope you all are having a great Fall season full of blessings, family time, and Spiced Pumpkin Lattes :)
