Rainbow

Every time it rains and the sun shines we run out to see if we can find a rainbow. Yesterday, we saw one! It was even a double one for a while.

Happy Birthday, Nicholas!

Nicholas had a fantastic 5th birthday. Thank you everyone for making it so special.

Nature Walk

We've had wonderful weather this past week. Today we went to Darby Creek Metro Park for a nature walk.

Family Fall Festival

Yesterday, our church hosted a one-day VBS followed by a Fall Festival for the entire family. John and I taught the 4-6 year olds, so all the pictures I have are of Nicholas. Our theme was the Fruits of the Spirit.

I Got Shots

Guest post by Nicholas

I got four shots today and they really hurt. Mom bought me a toy, a big ironman robot. I love mommy really much.

Picking Apples

Our homeschool group went on a field trip to the largest apple orchard in Ohio.

Here's our tour guide showing us the special bags that are used for apple picking.
