Well, Summer has gone and school has begun again. While we spent more time at home over the summer, I turned my attention to projects around the house and just never got around to blogging. So here’s a little recap of the last few months.
May: Skye (2) and cousin Heidi (3) shared a birthday party!
We had a water party which included a chance to play in shaving cream!
We also had a cousin trip to the Waco zoo.
Family fun night after playing in the rain – popcorn, hot chocolate and Uno!!
June: Camp Grammy for the girls provided old fashioned fun along with some new homemaking skills!
Horseback riding at a cousin’s Indian birthday party.
Themed weeks of summer fun – this was art week.
Plenty of outdoor time for this little explorer!
July: Boys Camp Grammy – mountain men and wilderness survival! They look a tough group, don’t they?
Fireworks with cousins
Ivy’s swimming birthday party – she is 8 years old!
Searching for pennies in the water.
And that’s probably enough for one post.
In between each event picture is just the normal rhythm of daily life in a big family. Chores, mess, laughter, trampoline time, intricate imagination games, books, fights, potty training, organizing, boo-boos, hugs, meals, “daddy’s home,” clean-up, and bed time.
I love watching these little ones grow strong and confident as they learn life skills and rub the rough edges off each other. It is a weighty responsibility to parent these future men and women, but God pours out the wisdom I ask for which mightily helps as we navigate their training. Praise to Him for special memories and the stamina needed for each day.
Until next time!
Great post! Love you guys~
That looks so fun!
