Abbey's first painting job!

A climbing toy for Jericho!

We had the ladder inside for a home repair and Abbey decided to make it a little home for Jericho.  She hung toys for him and made him a bed with a basket.  He liked it for the two days that we kept the ladder in the house.

High Chair Naps

         I think I have a picture of all of my kids sleeping in the high chair.  Here is Naomi.  I think she will need a bath after her nap!

Hidden Lake Gardens Field Trip

                                          All five pose in front of a field of daffodils.

                 They had some beautiful evergreens.  Isaac has some interesting expressions while              Abbey poses like a professional!

                                      

                                            Love this of the older boys.

                                          

                                            I guess this is the "hidden lake"!

                                             This is Abbey's favorite picture of the trip.

Bowling!

The older kids and I have a tradition of going somewhere fun on Sunday afternoons.  Here are the kids at the bowling alley for the first time!

Christmas Morning

Happy birthday Abbey!

Eight year old (!), and her first real birthday party with guests not named Grandma or Grandpa.  We had a breakfast party with pancakes and casserole, invited all the little girls from the homeschool co-op, and enlisted the help of Abbey's oldest cousin and aunt.  I think she had a great time.
