Mom said the house was clean in the morning!

There will come a day when I will miss having kids around to make my house a disaster zone.  But today...is not that day!

Farm Field Trip

Debbie's family is a dairy farm family, and the farm is now a second (and third) generation family farm.  So one of the great things for our kids is the ability to regularly visit a working farm and a) enjoy all that space and b) watch farm things happen.

Yesterday they got a tour of the feeding barn and watched the corn harvest, and capped off the day watching a calf be born!

Time for Camping

Anthony and the three older kids just returned from a four-day camping trip to Lake Michigan.  The positive notes were: the tent didn't leak, we enjoyed both a calm lake and a lake with waves, the kids loved their swimming time (at the beach and at the hotel pool), and the kids had a grand time with each other and with their dad.

On the other hand: Dad demonstrated that he doesn't know much about lighting fires, dinner got burned, we got locked out of the car and the car broke down, and we spent way too much money at concession stands and campground stores.


On the way!


Sliding down the giant waterslide, which was about two stories tall. 



Isaac does not like to get water in his eyes, so he absolutely declined playing in the lake, swimming in the pool, going down the waterslide, or even walking in the wet sand.  But he is always very cute.  Here he was patiently waiting for Abbey and Ethan to go down the waterslide.


Climbing the huge root-tree at the beach.


Enjoying the campfire.  It was warm most of the time but a sweatshirt still felt good at times.

Twins at home

Twice the love?
Or twice the trouble?

Ethan with his little sister
Apart, they're easy enough to identify.  Together, they look a lot alike.

They do a lot of sleeping.


A curious cat is curious.  Striker sniffed Isaac pretty thoroughly when he came home, too. 
Ethan has another little brother, too!

Abigail thinks they are darling.
