Fredericksburg

 Arriving at the living history farm.
 A very large pig and a very silly Ruth.
 Ruth's new friend the cow.
Best find of the day, chicken and turkey feathers.

Introducing

Tiny Mercury (we studied the Romans and their gods this week in history).



He and Spock are now getting along famously and having a great time being boys.  Lots of wrestling going on over here at our house.  So much fun!

Daddy's helper

We cleaned the shed and garage yesterday.  Matt and Mary are out there today hanging bars to hold the tools.  They are two peas in a pod, they'll have the job done in no time.

What are you looking at?

 Sunday is flying by in a blur.  Here is why.  Spockie, what are you looking at?

"Tiny".  The puppy we found in the neighborhood when we were driving home from church.  He is small enough we can keep him kenneled in the garage until Tuesday.  Someone dropped him in the vacant field last night after dark fleas and all to fend for himself.  Makes me sick and mad.  We have fed and watered him, gave him a flea bath (20 bugs and more filth than should be allowed) and he is good to go until we can take him to the shelter.

Falling in Love



Our house is now ready for Fall and Halloween!

What is cleaned out of the girls rooms

Gets stored in the garage.  Yikes!  So blessed to be in Texas where home school opportunities abound and I no longer feel the need to buy stuff for the kids.

Room Clean Out (again)

 Mary's cleaned out room.
 Went through the closet.  Much more space in here now!
 Ruth's room looks so large.
All toys are now in the closet.  Woo Hoo!

Nap time

Someone takes great naps!

One night

One night, two teeth, $10 bucks.
Mary lost a tooth and so did Ruth.
