Jumping into fall

 Our fall was full of sports, wrapping up our house project, driving kids to activities, seeing our kids literally grow before our eyes in their school pictures, and even taking some time to enjoy the small things.

   One fall day we jumped in the leaves, went for a bike ride, went fishing, and ended the perfect fall day with a bonfire and s'mores.

 These kids know how to fill a day up just like mom and dad.  

 

New backyard patio attached to our extended basement space.  

We are so happy this project is complete!

The summer of Root Beer

Meet Root Beer - this cow was loved and loved and loved.  

All 3 kids worked together this summer to take care of this cow.  She was calm and easy going - easy to love. 

Chores occurred 2 times per day and they took turns filling the buckets of feed, giving Root Beer water, and leading her.

Fair week was busy but great!  Lots of scrubbing at bath time and time with all the animals we could find.

Until next year!
