Story Time

Daddy reading a story to his 3 boys!

Faces

 Curry Beans! Yummy!

 We lit the bedroom fireplace for the first time!

 Boy and his Daddy

 Watching the fish

 Travis took Malachi to the neighbor's house. They have peacocks and he brought me home a pretty feather.

Morning hair! Poppy and Granny came up for a visit last weekend and we had lots of fun!

Making Bread with Friends!

 Beautiful girlies - Kylee and Lexi

 And pretty Mama - Erin

 Helpers! They were the official taste testers.

 And, of course, the babies!

 Taking a break from bread-making.

 Malachi and Lexi each got a bit of dough to kneed for themselves.

 And Kylee got to help with the real thing!

And more babies...

A Photo Journal of Today

This has been a day absolutely full of photo-ops, which may explain why it took at least 4 hours to get me floors swept and mopped!

I must share with you all the beautiful things I've seen today.

 Beutiful Nora! Love those ears!!

 In the next several pictures, you will see stormy skies in the background. One of my favorite things... (you can thank me later for getting that song stuck in your head!)

 I didn't notice at the time that they were holding hands

 This rainbow was actually from early yesterday morning.

 I had Malachi get the diapers out of the drier for me and asked him to put them on the couch. Next thing I know, he had "made squares" with them! (I had taught him a while ago to "make squares" out of washcloths to help me fold laundry.) This was so cute!

 Time for his monthly bath - whether he needs it or not!

 He was helping with the gardening...

 Another funny thing that interrupted my mopping - the boys were spending an aweful long time in the laundry room, and this is what I found.

 I had been a little curious as to how Morgan got up there, but I found out a little later.

 What can you even say about this????

 Malachi watching the rain from inside - when the rain really started coming down he was outside, and he got very frightened! But he enjoyed watching from inside the house.

He decided to dodge out of sight when he saw I was taking his picture!

And that was my day - full of beautiful people, beautiful creation. I am thankful to be able to stop and enjoy what I've been given. 

Outside in September

 The boy's new favorite place to play is in the dog's water dish!

 And what little boy doesn't like to play in the dirt?

 We didn't play in the little pool nearly as much as I thought we would.

 Malachi loves to play outside in the yard

 Beautiful sunset!

 Please don't touch the camera lense with a stick!!!

 Daddy sweeping the driveway

 Morgan's a big boy! He can sit up in the wagon all by himself!

The bandaid is from when he fell on a mason jar rim and got a little cut.
